How bridging design gaps in #science and #tech can tackle global #gender bias. United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA)’s Nigina Muntean shares what’s needed and what every leader should understand on the latest #MeetTheLeader podcast. Listen here: https://lnkd.in/eNaxvQ6a

🎉We are so thrilled that our "𝟳 𝗦𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗘𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗯𝘆 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻” is featured in the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) Equity 2030 Alliance first annual Impact Report which was launched last week in NYC. We’ve loved every minute working with Nigina Muntean, Chief of Innovation at UNFPA, and Emma Hietaniemi over the past year to bring focus and practical strategies to ensure gender equality is built into the future of everything we do and deliver. In a world designed mostly with men in mind, women’s needs—from healthcare to everyday products—are often overlooked, with impacts ranging from minor inconveniences to life-threatening oversights. As Nigina pointed out, "𝘞𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯 𝘸𝘢𝘭𝘬 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘢 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮." It’s an imbalance that spans from something as basic as phones not fitting comfortably in women’s hands, to those with more serious implications, like the fact only 22% of medical trials include female participants, which directly affects women’s health outcomes. 👉What is great about this forward-looking work is it moves us from calling out and analysing the problem to providing practical and systematic tools anyone can use in decision or design processes to ensure a better future for all. 👇You'll find links to the 𝘜𝘕𝘍𝘗𝘈 2030 𝘌𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘈𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘙𝘦𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵, 7 𝘚𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘴: 𝘈 𝘎𝘶𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘐𝘯𝘤𝘭𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘎𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘌𝘲𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘣𝘺 𝘋𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘯 and a case study from our members Football Australia and Commonwealth Bank shared in the comments. #Equity2030Alliance #GenderEquity #InnovationForAll #7Switches Elizabeth Broderick James Fazzino Kristen Hilton Janet Menzies Sarah Higgins Lisa Pusey Rita Zonius🌟SCMP🌟 Olivia Tsen

Eighty five per cent of artificial-intelligence projects are estimated to be biased due to data, algorithms or the teams responsible for managing them. Biased systems are not simply inconvenient; more than 60 per cent of biased systems result in unfair allocation of resources, information and opportunities for women.
