More
than 20 years of global data compiled by No Ceilings shows that while
progress is possible, more must be done to achieve ‘full and equal
participation’ of women and girls worldwide
New York, NY – Former
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, Gates Foundation Co-Chair
Melinda Gates and Clinton Foundation Vice Chair Chelsea Clinton will
join global and community leaders for the official release of the
No Ceilings Full Participation Report on Monday, March 9, in New York City. The event will coincide with the start of the 59
th session of the United Nations’ Commission on the Status of Women.
The
No Ceilings Full Participation Report is
the culmination of a year-long, global data aggregation effort by the
Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation and the Bill &
Melinda Gates Foundation, in collaboration with The Economist
Intelligence Unit, UCLA WORLD Policy Analysis Center and Fathom
Information Design. The report identifies the significant gains women
and girls have made – and the gaps that still remain – since the U.N.
Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing in 1995, when Secretary
Clinton called on the international community to ensure “women’s rights
are human rights.” Benchmarking process since that landmark event,
No Ceilings is
making the data open and accessible, and is pairing the report with an
interactive, shareable collection of data visualizations. The data
visualizations will highlight key findings from the data through
interactive stories, as well as allow users the ability to explore the
data on their own.
