Gender, Data, and Policy
Manage episode 511642191 series 1285289
In this episode of All Things Policy, Shreya Ramakrishnan and Anwesha Sen discuss the book "Invisible Women" by Caroline Criado Perez which makes a case for how our world is built on a gender data gap. Systems are designed around the male body and male usage patterns, while women’s data is largely unexamined. This is something that many women are viscerally and often acutely aware of but that goes undiscussed, underreported and under researched. Shreya and Anwesha also discuss how this gap in data impacts policy, infrastructure, and research, and ways in which the gap can be bridged.
All Things Policy is a daily podcast on public policy brought to you by the Takshashila Institution, Bengaluru.
