Description
The Miami-Dade Gender Equity Index: A Tool Of Evidence For Action In Miami-Dade County
The GEI explainer describes the Index, the rationale and methodology of its development, and why it’s necessary to achieve gender equity in Miami-Dade County. Each GEI score will be accompanied by a policy paper examining one of the four pillars of The Women’s Fund.
Data Drives Action, Decision-Making, And Policy Changes. The GEI provides essential data to inform and assist policymakers and the broader community in improving gender equality. WFMD’s policy recommendations support data-driven collaborative and sustainable solutions to documented gender disparities. The Gender Equity Index (GEI) Measures Progress Toward Equity For Women And Girls In Miami-Dade County. Its Goal Is To Drive Collaboration In The Advancement Of Gender Equality. Persistent Inequalities Must Drive Change For Women’s Empowerment. The GEI is a composite score that highlights overall gender disparities in education, healthcare, employment, political representation, and social and economic opportunities. The GEI reflects that women and girls face interconnected challenges, as obstacles in each of the Women’s Fund Miami-Dade (WFMD) four pillars – Economic Mobility, Health and Well-Being, Leadership, and Freedom From Violence – affect outcomes in the other three. The Index continues the WFMD research initiative, which started 3 years ago with the design of the Gender Equity Dashboard. The Dashboard includes a growing number of metrics, almost 80, across the four pillars.
