Imagine trying to make a decision with only half the information. Today, nearly all organizations across the public and private sectors rely on data to make better decisions about everything from employee salaries to new legislation. Data provides decision makers insight into what the baseline is, where collective needs are, and where resources should be allocated. But half our world’s population—women—are underrepresented and many times completely unrepresented in these datasets.
Inaccurate data often results from gender bias in the design of surveys or questionnaires, or from someone other than the woman or girl responding to a survey on her behalf. Misrepresented or incomplete gender data collection yields results that misses the mark on understanding women’s needs or their economic and social contributions. Policies and initiatives around healthcare, education, economic opportunity and more are built based on what’s available—gender-biased data—and fail to fairly serve women and girls. How can we close the gender data gap and pursue the global ambition towards gender equality and a fuller understanding of the whole population?

La Administración de Alimentos y Medicamentos de los Estados Unidos (FDA, por sus siglas en inglés) alerta a las mujeres embarazadas sobre los riesgos de la listeriosis, una enfermedad transmitida por los alimentos que puede afectar gravemente a las mujeres embarazadas y a sus bebés no nacidos.
La Listeria puede afectar a personas de todas las razas y grupos étnicos, pero las mujeres embarazadas tienen una probabilidad aproximadamente 10 veces mayor de contraer listeriosis que otros adultos sanos debido a los cambios hormonales que afectan el sistema inmunológico durante el embarazo. Las mujeres hispanas embarazadas son unas 24 veces más propensas a contraer listeriosis que la población general. Una mujer embarazada puede transmitir la Listeria a su bebé no nacido incluso sin saberlo porque no se siente enferma, pero la enfermedad puede provocar un aborto espontáneo, muerte fetal, parto prematuro, nacimiento de un bebé con bajo peso, una amplia gama de problemas de salud para el recién nacido o incluso la muerte del bebé.
