‘Default male bias’ makes for generations of ‘invisible women’, author tells UN audience
Update: 2020-01-24
Description
Although women make up half the global population, they are often disregarded in the increasingly important world of big data: from measuring economic growth, to disaster response and recovery, or key public transportation planning, award-winning author Caroline Criado-Perez said at the United Nations on Friday.
Nahla Valji, the UN’s first Senior Gender Advisor in the Executive Office of the Secretary-General, asked Ms. Criado-Perez what inspired her to write the book Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men, and how the UN can learn from her research on ‘default male bias’.
