Equal Measures 2030 and Tableau Foundation team up on new fellowship to support women data journalists to drive change for women and girls

Reykjavik, Iceland, 11 November 2020 — Today, Equal Measures 2030 (EM2030) and Tableau Foundation, a philanthropic initiative of Tableau Software, announced a new data journalism fellowship to help 15 aspiring journalists in India and Kenya gain skills and experience to tell stories through data that can make meaningful change for women and girls.

Unveiled at the Reykjavik Global Forum for Women Leaders, the new fellowship will provide a cohort of data journalists in both countries with Tableau’s industry-leading analytics platform, training, mentoring, and access to EM2030’s data and tools including the SDG Gender Index data.

Combining access to data with a full continuum of learning on data analysis and visualisation, and connections to local gender equality advocates, will enable these new data journalists to produce stories and content that drive change for women and girls.
