Our mission is to provide the factual evidence for monitoring progress for women and men in the ECE region as mandated by the Beijing Platform.

 

We are compiling a collection of statistical indicators together with the relevant metadata in cooperation with our member countries, as well as useful information on gender issues and policies in the ECE region.

 

In meeting our goal, this website was created to:

• Promote the use of gender statistics by governments and international agencies, planning bodies, NGOs, research institutions, gender issues advocates, the media, and the public, for policy formulation and monitoring as well as for promoting change.
• Disseminate existing gender statistics at the regional and national levels among the countries of the ECE region.
• Increase the adoption of international standards and the use of guidelines and recommendations to improve international comparability.
• Encourage communication and exchange of experiences on policy issues and data comparability.
• Improve access to international and regional information on gender statistics.
