Can Data Tell Us Where Women Really Stand?

On the occasion of World Statistics Day – October 20, the importance of data that takes into account the differences between women and men becomes clear, helping us understand women’s reality in education, employment, health, and participation in decision-making.

Overall figures may hide disparities in opportunities, while data disaggregated by s*x, age, and social circumstances help reveal gaps and identify needs more accurately.

What data does not measure may remain invisible… and what we do not understand accurately is difficult to change effectively.

When Poverty Is More Than Just a Number

On the occasion of International Day for the Eradication of Poverty – October 17, we highlight the dimensions of poverty that go beyond income to affect women’s opportunities for education, access to essential services, and independent decision-making.

When economic options become limited, even the most basic rights can become more difficult to access, reducing a woman’s ability to shape her future and make decisions freely.

Eradicating poverty means not only improving income, but also expanding opportunities, strengthening independence, and ensuring every woman’s right to a dignified life and equal choices.

When Disaster Strikes… Who Thinks About Women’s Needs?

During crises and disasters, women and girls may face additional challenges, from difficulty accessing healthcare and essential supplies to risks of violence and increasing caregiving responsibilities.

On the occasion of the International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction – October 13, we emphasize that an effective response is not limited to rescue and relief efforts; it also includes understanding the needs of women and girls, ensuring their protection, and involving them in planning and recovery.

Because a fair response begins when no one is left behind.

Are We Asking Women to Be Strong All the Time?

On the occasion of World Mental Health Day – October 10, an important question arises: Why are women always expected to endure, overcome exhaustion in silence, as if admitting to being overwhelmed diminishes their strength?

Many women face social pressure that makes them responsible for staying strong, caring for others, and carrying on regardless of the circumstances, while their psychological needs are neglected or asking for help is sometimes viewed as a sign of weakness.

But strength does not mean never getting tired, and independence does not mean facing everything alone. Every woman has the right to express her feelings, set boundaries that protect her health, and seek support without shame or guilt.

Mental health is not a luxury, and asking for support is not a weakness; it is a conscious step towards balance and recovery.

We do not need a woman who is strong all the time… but a society that gives her the right to be human, with all that she feels and needs.

The Woman Who Works a Lot… Yet Her Work Remains Invisible

How much work takes place every day inside homes… yet never appears in economic figures?

Caring for children and older people, preparing food, cleaning, managing daily tasks, and organizing family affairs are essential forms of work, but they are often unpaid and do not appear in the same way in traditional employment statistics.

The International Labour Organization indicates that women perform approximately 76.2% of the total hours of unpaid care and domestic work worldwide. Care responsibilities also kept around 708 million women outside the labour force in 2023.

The problem is not that this work “does not exist”… but that a large part of it is economically invisible.

That is why time-use measurements have become important: they reveal what job and income indicators alone fail to show, and help us understand the scale of the effort that remains outside conventional economic calculations.

If the economy measures what people are paid for… who measures the value of what people are not paid for?

In our article, we discuss women’s invisible work and why we need to rethink the way we measure work and its value within the family and society.

Artificial intelligence does not see humans as we do… so can it be biased?

The machine is not born knowing what is “normal” or “appropriate” for women and men… but it learns from the data we give it.

If the data is incomplete or carries biases that already exist in society, these biases can be transferred to algorithms and then appear in the results and decisions produced by artificial intelligence systems. UNESCO warns that artificial intelligence may reproduce or amplify existing gender stereotypes.

Here, women’s presence in technology and data becomes more than just a matter of representation.

Who designs the systems? Who chooses the data? And who asks: What about women’s experiences?

Artificial intelligence is not separate from the world we live in;
it learns from our data… and therefore, we must always ask: Does this data reflect everyone?

Is Your Photo Really Yours Online?

You may press the “post” button willingly… but do you know where your photo can go after that?

In the digital world, a photo and personal information are not merely content; they are part of privacy and digital identity. Privacy violations can include copying, altering, or reposting photos without consent, or using personal information in ways you did not intend.

That is why privacy does not begin with the question: What should I post?
It begins with a deeper question: Who has the right to use what I post, and how can it be used?

Protecting digital privacy is not about being afraid of technology; it is about being aware of your rights before pressing “post.”

When Technology Enters Women’s Lives… Does She Become a Partner in Creating It?

Technology is no longer just a tool women use for learning, work, and access to information; it has become part of the decisions and opportunities that shape their lives.

With the rise of artificial intelligence, a deeper question emerges: Is a woman merely a user of technology, or a partner in designing it and shaping its future?

True digital empowerment is not limited to access to the Internet; it includes knowledge, privacy, safety, the ability to understand technology, and participation in its development.

When women are present in creating technology, their needs and experiences become part of the technology that shapes tomorrow’s world.

Information Is a Right… and Knowing It Is a Strength That Protects a Woman’s Decision

On the occasion of International Day for Universal Access to Information – September 28, we highlight the importance of women’s access to information that concerns their lives, rights, and decisions.

When a woman knows her rights and has access to information related to education, work, health, services, and opportunities available to her, she becomes more capable of understanding her options, evaluating them, and making her decisions on the basis of knowledge.

Access to information is not complete simply because information exists; it requires that it be available, clear, reliable, and accessible to everyone without discrimination.

Information is not merely knowledge added to memory…
It is a tool that helps a woman know her options, understand her rights, and protect her decision.
