OECD, Wikigender.org - Entering into Dialogue
Wikigender is a project initiated by the OECD Development Centre to facilitate the exchange and improve the knowledge about gender-related issues around the world. A special focus of this project is to collect empirical evidence and to identify adequate statistics and measurement tools of gender equality. In this respect, Wikigender serves as a pilot project for the OECD Global Project on Measuring the Progress of Societies. In particular, Wikigender aims to highlight the importance of social institutions such as norms, traditions and cultural practices that impact on gender equality. Examples of such measures are presented in the OECD Gender, Institutions and Development Data Base.
