INTRODUCTION:

International Women’s Development Agency (IWDA) is an Australian-based organisation, resourcing diverse women’s rights organisations (WROs) primarily in the Asia and the Pacific, and contributing to global feminist movements to advance our vision of gender equality for all.

Equality Insights is a flagship program of IWDA which aims to redefine how poverty is understood and measured in order to improve the lives of all people, particularly those who have traditionally been excluded. The program aims to inspire wider change in measurement standards and approaches, and in gender equality outcomes.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

As a gender-sensitive measurement of poverty, Equality Insights provides world-leading survey tools that collect inclusive data about poverty and inequality, providing important insights into the experiences of individuals who are often rendered invisible in poverty data. The intersectional insights we generate inform policy solutions, fuel feminist advocacy and inspire social change.
We use inclusive data to drive transformative change in three ways:

1. We build high-quality data collection tools and collect inclusive poverty data.

We have developed innovative tools that collect high-quality, inclusive data about poverty and inequality. We take a different approach to collecting poverty data that reveals important insights that are essential to creating a just, equal and sustainable future for all.

2. We work in partnership to increase and strengthen the use of gender data.

Together with our partners, we use inclusive data to drive social change and improve the lives of many. Our data is used by governments, national statistics offices, Women’s Rights Organisations and gender data advocates to develop effective solutions that reduce poverty and inequality. The Equality Insights program works with governments and CSOs to support capacity and uptake and use of Equality Insights data. We provide accompaniment support to data users to use Equality Insights data for reporting and provide tailored data interpretation support for specific policy requests.

3. We push to make inclusive data the norm

When it comes to data, we are on a mission to raise the standards and make inclusive data the norm. We highlight solutions and innovations, raise awareness about gender data gaps, and advocate to ensure that everyone is visible in the data that affects their lives.
