Adding Value to Gender Data: How Mentoring and Building a Community of Data Users Can Enhance Journalists’ Ability to Communicate on Gender Issues

Journalists can help improve demand for gender data because they play a unique role as storytellers who can make sense of complex topics and engage the wider public. While journalists have the media presence, research, and writing skills to report on gender data in a smart, digestible way, they may need more advanced visualization and specialized technical skills and a community in which they can find support in these areas. To help address this problem, Equal Measures 2030 and Tableau Foundation launched the Fellowship for Data Journalists at the Reykjavik Global Forum for Women Leaders in 2020.

State of Gender Data: The Gender and Environment Alliance

Gender data is a challenge to environmentalists—it can be difficult to collect, it requires dedicated financing, and for many years, there was no clear space that brought people and resources together to address it. This was until the Gender and Environment Data Alliance (GEDA) formed to advance gender-just climate action. Formed by the Women’s Environment and Development Organization (WEDO) and International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the group brings together a coalition of diverse multi-stakeholder partners to improve accessibility, understanding and application of gender-environment data.
