The United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD), in collaboration with National Statistics Office of Georgia, is organizing the 10th United Nations Global Forum on Gender Statistics in Tbilisi, Georgia. The event will take place on 1-3 October 2025
The theme of the forum is “Driving Change with Gender Statistics: A Path to Equality”. And as done in previous forums, this event will bring together producers and users of gender statistics from national and international statistical offices, other government agencies, international organizations, academia, civil society, and the donor community. The Forum will provide an opportunity to: (a) review progress towards gender equality and women's empowerment, assess data availability, challenges, and countries' capacities to measure and monitor gender-relevant issues; (b) discuss initiatives, tools, and methods for the collection, production, dissemination, and use of gender statistics; (c) explore innovative approaches and initiatives for producing, analyzing, and utilizing data to monitor gender equality and women's empowerment; and (d) strategize on maximizing the use of existing data, including through the integration of a gender lens into current data processes.
On this occasion, the forum will focus ways to improve data and evidence on the growing challenges and opportunities offered by the care economy and its impact on gender equality. Panelists and audience will also strategize on how to make the best out of existing data, including by mainstreaming a gender lens into existing data processes. Additionally, the Forum will provide an opportunity to take stock and learn of good practices in gender statistics and data management from the African region.
