In collaboration with @Data2x and @UNESCAP, we are excited to announce the release of Bridging the Gap: Mapping #GenderData Availability in Asia and the Pacific, which assesses gaps across 5 countries in 6 domains. Check out the major takeaways! :

1. Around half of gender-relevant indicators lack sex-disaggregated data or are missing entirely. This is slightly less (46%) in national databases and slightly more (53%) in international databases.

2. The #health domain has the highest number of sex-disaggregated indicators at both the national and international levels.

3. The #environment domain had the least, with two indicators out of 11 sex-disaggregated at the international level and only one country, the Philippines, reporting any sex-disaggregated indicators in its national database.

4. The shortage of #GenderData limits our knowledge of the status and well-being of women and girls in countries around the world.

5. How can we encourage a virtuous cycle between #GenderData production and use? One ideais to connect #GenderEquality objectives in national strategies to measurable indicators.
