Wikigender is a project initiated by the OECD Development Centre to facilitate the exchange and improve the knowledge on gender-related issues around the world. In particular, Wikigender tries to gather empirical evidence and identify adequate statistics to measure gender equality. In this respect, Wikigender serves as a pilot project for the OECD Global Project on Measuring the Progress of Societies. Based on the work of the OECD Gender, Institutions and Development Data Base, Wikigender aims to highlight the importance of social institutions such as norms, traditions and cultural practices that impact on gender equality.
As I understand it, it's a place for information sharing (like all Wikis) specifically about gender. I particularly like this part:
aims to highlight the importance of social institutions such as norms, traditions and cultural practices that impact on gender equality.
The call is out to tap the gender knowledge of our greater communities, so if you have anything to share or just want to learn, head on over! (h/t)
