Gender-based violence is increasing around the 🌎 due to the economic & social impacts of COVID-19. Addressing this is a priority for 🇦🇺's #PartnershipsForRecovery development program, which is helping people like Anna work to support those most affected by COVID-19 ⬇️ #16Days
Equality Insights will leverage @IWDA’s long-term, feminist partnerships to engage with women’s rights organisations and movements, putting data in their hands and co-analysing the data for actionable insights. Follow @Equal_Insights & explore:

The ANU will be taking forward the work of the IDM with the IMMP! Based in the Poverty and Inequality Research Centre within @ANUCrawford, IMMP will continue to develop a strong research and evidence base for assessing and responding to poverty. Follow here:
@ResearchPoverty
A1: We still don't have a lot of data on the short- and long-term economic impacts the pandemic will have on women, given their disproportionate representation as essential workers (including health care workers!) and caregivers. #genderdata
@devex#genderdata Q7: Even if COVID19 cases remain at zero, gender gaps in literacy and access to information mean specific efforts are required to ensure equal access to public health information, especially at the intersection of gender, age, and geography.
@devex#Genderdata Q7: our multidimensional @idmdata from the Solomon Islands showed significantly more women than men had completed either no or minimal schooling -with older women the most likely to be illiterate & unable to read public health messaging:

@devex#genderdata Q5: W/o data that can be disaggregated, about aspects of life that illuminate gendered differences linked to gendered roles & responsibilities (time-use, unpaid work) recovery will be sub-optimal.
@devex#genderdata Q7: Multidimensional is richest as it informs us on many aspects of life and how these overlap. See how hygiene, time-use, safety & access to water & healthcare all interact in the context of COVID19 preparedness in Fiji:

@devex#genderdata Q4: @IDMdata provides individual-level data about 15 key dimensions of life, from all adults in a household, of all ages, can show who is deprived in what ways to what extent, how intersecting barriers deepen disadvantage & how deprivations are related.
@devex#genderdata Q3: In #SolomonIslands, with globally high rates of intimate partner physical &/or sexual violence for women (64%) #COVID19 has only increased risks & challenges of reporting by limiting mobility & access to services

@devex#genderdata Q1: A glaring gap is individual-level, multidimensional #poverty#data-extraordinary that 25 years after the Beijing World Conference data is still routinely collected about HHs so can’t be disaggregated. @IDMData solves the problem.
@devex#Genderdata Q1: Where data does exist, we still need more intersectional analysis - to understand how gender, age, location, religion, race or disability may compound barriers for #COVID19 preparedness
Women’s safety is linked to access to education, employment, #SRHR and well-being.
@ARROW_women and @Equal2030 factsheet tells us that only 61% of women in Asia-Pacific region reported feeling safe walking at night.

While women and men may share the same dwelling, our @IDMdata study in #SolomonIslands found that women were less likely to have adequate bedding & more likely to feel anxiety around food insecurity. See the full gender-sensitive analysis: https://t.co/079YkInHYR #GenderData
Data that obscures differences & inequalities is always suboptimal, making it harder to see what’s needed & focus for impact. #GenderData matters
What is the state of existing data on sex-disaggregated #COVID19 cases and deaths? In our third blog with @OpenDataWatch, we explore the most up-to-date data. Read our five takeaways: https://t.co/CFlnZXIoa4
