How data can power the advancement of women and girls’ rights around the world – Tableau

Let’s set the record straight. Providing women and girls with equal access to education, health care, decent work, and representation in political and economic decision-making processes is important for the world. Societies have advanced their gender equality and women’s empowerment initiatives, but women and girls continue to suffer from discrimination and violence. And this needs to change.

Equal Measures 2030 (EM2030) is a joint effort of leading regional and global organizations from civil society and the development and private sectors working to connect data and evidence with advocacy and action on gender equality. This coalition includes partners like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, KPMG, ONE Campaign, Asia-Pacific Resource and Research Centre for Women (Arrow), Data2X, Plan International, and others. Their mission is to ensure girls’ and women’s movements, advocates, and champions have access to the robust data and evidence they need when they need it, in an easy to use format so they can drive faster progress towards the gender equality commitments in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
