Expert Meeting: Supporting the production and measuring the use of official gender statistics Paris France

PARIS21 and UN Women are collaborating on a project within the Making every woman and girl count initiative to strengthen national statistical systems to produce quality gender statistics aligned with national priorities and Agenda 2030. We have developed a framework for the assessment of gender statistics in terms of data gaps and capacity gaps of national statistical systems. The experience of three pilot countries will be shared alongside best practices on mainstreaming the gender perspective in national strategies for development of statistics (NSDS). We are also working on a methodology to measure the use of gender statistics in policy documents, social media and news.

The Experts Meeting will bring together representatives from the media and statistics community to discuss the PARIS21 text analysis study in relation to the use of gender statistics in public policy documents and media.
