On Tuesday, @melindagates' Pivotal Ventures said that $50 million of her pledge will go towards creating “inclusive tech hubs” in #Chicago and two other yet-to-be-named cities, over the next five years.

This is powerful as it's important for young girls to have #representation in all aspects of their lives, including #barbie dolls. S/O to @Mattel for making this possible. 🙌

In the face of alienation in #STEM, @telisa72 redirected her energy to focus on community: peers, allies, and supportive mentors. Now she works to extend the feeling of "belonging" far beyond herself.

Why don't we have enough data on women? Because of:

📈 Bias in data collection
🚫 A lack of sex-disaggregated data

But also because traditional data collection methods often don’t fully capture women’s experiences or participation in the informal or formal economy.

[Gates Foundation @gatesfoundation]

Let’s talk gender data!

Data powers the world’s decisions. It helps us focus on the right problems to tackle or assess progress toward our goals, including the #SDGs.

Yet today, we still don’t have nearly enough of it on women’s lives or the challenges they face.
