Over the past decade, Women Count has demonstrated that investing in gender data is a strategic pathway to better policies, stronger accountability and improved outcomes for women and girls, ensuring their realities are counted and made visible in the decisions that shape their lives.

Grounded in this pathway for change, Women Count has helped strengthen the enabling environment for gender statistics, expand the production of gender data in key priority areas, including women’s economic empowerment, violence against women, and gender-environment and improve data access and use so that evidence reaches decision-makers and informs policy action. The results speak for themselves.
