Understand poverty.
Inspire change. 

Equality Insights is a gender data program delivered by the International Women’s Development Agency (IWDA). We use inclusive data to drive progress on gender equality and inspire transformative change.

As a gender-sensitive measurement of poverty, we have development world-leading survey tools that collect inclusive data about poverty 
and inequality, providing important insights into the experiences of individuals who are often rendered invisible in poverty data. The intersectional insights we generate inform policy solutions, fuel feminist advocacy and inspire social change.
