What is Data2X? Dec. 15 Progress Event On December 15, 2014, Data2X will host a Progress Event with Hillary Clinton, Michael Bloomberg, Chelsea Clinton and partners. Since its launch in 2012, Data2X has identified gender data gaps and served as a platform for partnerships to power a gender ‘data revolution’. The event on December 15 th will announce new partnerships around six key gender data gaps. Why Data2X? Why Now? Together, we can create a gender data revolution. More and better data is needed to drive progress for girls and women globally. Good data is essential to good policy, and it is clear that a lack of gender data has hindered the course of gender equality and women’s empowerment. The investments we make today will pay dividends tomorrow. To create a true gender data revolution, we need to bring together partners from the private, public and social sectors to fund this critical work. The time is now: As the world’s attention turns to the post-2015 global development framework, we must ensure measurable, realistic targets are included to advance gender equality. Data2X, named for the power women have to multiply progress in their societies, advances gender equality and women’s empowerment. How? By building partnerships to improve data collection and demonstrating how better data on the status of women and girls can guide policy, leverage investments, and inform global development agendas.
