6: Invisible Women- Data & Gender Bias
Imagine a world where your doctor prescribes a drug that is wrong for your body, where in a car accident you are 47% more likely to be seriously injured, where every week the countless hours of work you do are not recognized or valued. If any of this sounds familiar, chances are that you’re a woman. This episode is inspired by the book Invisible Women by Caroline Criado-Perez. We will explore the facts and cases exposing the pervasive gender data gap profoundly affecting women’s lives, understand why it is important to change it now, and what are the potential solutions.
