leaves women poor, sick, and sometimes even dead. \u003cbr\u003eThe author, one of Britain's most prominent feminist activists and journalists, closely examines the impact of data gaps on women and the cross-section of discrimination across 16 areas, including technology, labor, healthcare, urban planning, economics, politics, and disaster relief.\u003cbr\u003e It suggests how restoring women's perspectives and knowledge, which have been hidden and overlooked, will benefit both men and women, and the world as a whole.\u003cbr\u003e Based on extensive statistical data and a wealth of case

\u003cdiv\u003eOne of the most important things about gender data gaps is that they are usually neither malicious nor even intentional.\u003cbr\u003e Quite the opposite.\u003cbr\u003e It can be considered a kind of thoughtlessness, as it is merely a product of a way of thinking that has existed for thousands of years.\u003cbr\u003e It's doubly pointless in that men don't need to be mentioned, and women aren't even mentioned.\u003cbr\u003e This is because when we refer to a person as human, we mean a man.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ---From the \"Preface\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In northern Sweden, trauma patient data has been collected since 1985, and pedestrians make up the majority of this database.\u003cbr\u003e Pedestrians are three times more likely to be injured on slippery or icy roads than drivers and account for 50% of all traffic-related injuries spent in hospitals.\u003cbr\u003e And most of these pedestrians are women. \u003cbr\u003e(……) It was found that these injuries resulted in medical expenses and decreased productivity.\u003cbr\u003e The cost of pedestrian falls alone during one winter reached 36 million kronor (approximately 4.3 billion won).\u003cbr\u003e (……)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Even with these minimal estimates, the cost of winter pedestrian accidents is roughly twice the cost of winter road maintenance.\u003cbr\u003e In the city of Solna, near Stockholm, it was three times higher, and some studies have shown even higher levels.\u003cbr\u003e Whatever the exact difference, it is clear that it is far more economical to prevent injuries by prioritizing pedestrians in the snow removal order.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ---From \"Chapter 1: Can Snow Clearing Be Sexist?\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Before the introduction of “if you don’t use it, it’s gone” paternity leave, only 6% of Swedish men used it, even though the system had been in place since 1974.\u003cbr\u003e In other words, they didn't even use the vacation time they had until the government forced them to. \u003cbr\u003eThis pattern was repeated in Iceland.\u003cbr\u003e The introduction of the “daddy quota” doubled the amount of parental leave requested by men.\u003cbr\u003e In Korea, when “daddy leave” was introduced in 2007, the rate of men using parental leave more than tripled.\u003cbr\u003e ---From \"Chapter 3: Hard Friday\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Think of a genius.\u003cbr\u003e You most likely thought of a man.\u003cbr\u003e I thought of Einstein.\u003cbr\u003e The famous photo of him with his hair disheveled and his tongue sticking out.\u003cbr\u003e This bias (which I like to call the \"smart bias\") means that in reality, male professors are always perceived as more knowledgeable, objective, and naturally gifted.\u003cbr\u003e However, the method of determining promotion based solely on lecture evaluations does not reflect this point at all.\u003cbr\u003e Intelligence bias is often the result of data gaps.\u003cbr\u003e Female geniuses have been so largely erased from history that they don't come to mind right away. \u003cbr\u003eAs a result, when a profession is considered to require 'intelligence', what is really meant is 'penis'.\u003cbr\u003e ---From \"Chapter 4: The Myth of Meritocracy\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Ill-fitting personal protective equipment can be fatal to workers working in hazardous environments.\u003cbr\u003e In 1997, a British police officer was stabbed to death while using a water hammer to break down an apartment door.\u003cbr\u003e I took it off because it was difficult to use the pump while wearing the bulletproof vest.\u003cbr\u003e (……) Female police officers in the UK are getting bruises from their police belts.\u003cbr\u003e Many people receive physical therapy because their injury prevention vests do not fit properly.\u003cbr\u003e Many officers also say there is no room for their chests inside the vests.\u003cbr\u003e Not only is this uncomfortable, but it also causes the safety vest to lift up, leaving your lower back vulnerable.\u003cbr\u003e The very reason for wearing a vest becomes meaningless.\u003cbr\u003e ---From \"Chapter 5: Men are Universal, Women are Special\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eA 2013 report on user experiences of five ovens in Bangladesh, sponsored by WashPlus and the USAID, repeatedly acknowledged that all five took longer to cook than traditional ovens and required constant supervision.\u003cbr\u003e This adds to the workload by preventing women from multitasking and forcing them to change their cooking methods.\u003cbr\u003e Despite this, the report continues to say that the woman, not the oven, should be repaired.\u003cbr\u003e Rather than having to educate oven designers on how to avoid increasing women's already averaging 15 hours a day, women should be educated on how good their \"improved\" ovens are.\u003cbr\u003e ---From \"Chapter 7: Why Bangladeshi Women Rejected Modern Stoves\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe purpose of voice recognition systems built into cars is to make driving safer by reducing distractions.\u003cbr\u003e However, it often does not work properly when used by women.\u003cbr\u003e After buying a 2012 Ford Focus, a woman discovered that the voice recognition system only understood her husband when he was sitting in the passenger seat.\u003cbr\u003e Another woman contacted the manufacturer for help after her Buick's built-in voice-activated phone feature stopped working.\u003cbr\u003e “The employee told me point-blank that it would never work on my voice and that I should ask a man to do it for me.” Just after I wrote that sentence, I saw my mother trying unsuccessfully to call my aunt using the voice recognition system in the Volvo Cross Country.\u003cbr\u003e The fifth time I failed, I suggested to my mother that she lower her voice.\u003cbr\u003e Then it worked at once. \u003cbr\u003e---From \"One Size Fits 8 Men\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In 2010, Stopregen discovered a fact.\u003cbr\u003e It was found that there was a difference between men and women in 'body sway'.\u003cbr\u003e “It’s a small and subtle difference that you can’t tell with the naked eye, but if you convert it into a number to show how the body twists back and forth, there is a significant difference between men and women.\u003cbr\u003e As soon as I discovered this, I knew I had something to say about the reasons why men and women experience motion sickness differently.\u003cbr\u003e “Because all I’ve said so far has been that it has to do with controlling the body.” Afterwards, Stopregen also found evidence that “a woman’s clinginess varies with the menstrual cycle.”\u003cbr\u003e This fact is important.\u003cbr\u003e “This is because women’s sensitivity to motion sickness changes according to their menstrual cycle.\u003cbr\u003e And the two are connected, believe it or not.”\u003cbr\u003e ---From \"Chapter 9: The Sea of ​​Men\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eTwo million women take Valium each year for conditions ranging from anxiety to epilepsy, and the drug has been aggressively marketed to women for decades.\u003cbr\u003e However, according to a 2003 paper, this “Mom’s Little Helper” has never been tested in a randomized clinical trial with female subjects.\u003cbr\u003e According to a 1992 study by the Government Accountability Office, less than 50% of prescription drugs on the market were analyzed by gender.\u003cbr\u003e In 2015, a Dutch newspaper boldly reported that “nothing is known about the effects of a vast number of over-the-counter drugs on women.”\u003cbr\u003e ---From \"Chapter 10 Ineffective Medicines\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Rachel endured severe menstrual cramps and heavy bleeding for ten years, taking painkillers, until she finally collapsed mid-performance.\u003cbr\u003e (……) Doctors suspected kidney stones and performed several urological tests, but all of them came back negative. \u003cbr\u003e(……) Eventually, while Rachel was talking about how sick she was, the doctor shook his head and said, “The patient should be discharged.\u003cbr\u003e “There is nothing wrong with your body,” he said.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But there was a problem.\u003cbr\u003e Rachel was diagnosed with endometriosis.\u003cbr\u003e In the UK, it takes an average of eight years to be diagnosed with the disease, and in the US, it takes ten years, and there is currently no cure.\u003cbr\u003e Although it is estimated that one in 10 women will develop the condition – that's 176 million worldwide – it wasn't until 2017 that the UK's National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence first issued guidance to doctors.\u003cbr\u003e The first piece of advice was:\u003cbr\u003e “Listen carefully to what women say.”\u003cbr\u003e ---From Chapter 11, “Unusual” Symptoms\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e There are two things to note here.\u003cbr\u003e First, there is a gender data gap at the top when it comes to electing representatives of the people, except for half of humanity. \u003cbr\u003eThe “best” politicians don’t mean “those who graduated from good schools and universities and have free confidence, money, and time.”\u003cbr\u003e The best politicians are those who perform best as a whole, as a functional group.\u003cbr\u003e And in this context, the best means diversity.\u003cbr\u003e Everything we have seen so far in this book demonstrates the importance of diverse perspectives.\u003cbr\u003e The data we accumulate while living our entire lives as women is important.\u003cbr\u003e That data is at the heart of national governance.\u003cbr\u003e ---From \"Chapter 14: Passports are Human Rights\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Women don't die from disasters, says Maureen Fordham.\u003cbr\u003e They die because of their gender, and because of a society that doesn't take into account how gender limits women's lives.\u003cbr\u003e (……) In Sri Lanka, swimming and tree climbing are taught “overwhelmingly” to boys. \u003cbr\u003eAs a result, when the tsunami struck in December 2004, the mortality rate for women was four times that of men.\u003cbr\u003e Because it was easier for men to survive the flood.\u003cbr\u003e In Bangladesh, there is a social stigma against girls learning to swim, making their chances of surviving a flood “significantly” lower.\u003cbr\u003e The vulnerability of women, thus created by society, is weakened by the fact that they cannot leave the house without being accompanied by a male relative.\u003cbr\u003e As a result, when a cyclone hits, women waste precious evacuation time waiting for male relatives to come and take them to safety.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ---From Chapter 16, “You Don’t Die Because of Disaster”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e What this story shows is that the need to fill the gender data gap extends beyond the confines of the passport. \u003cbr\u003eAs we've seen with the impact of

Discrimination was found in unexpected places.\"\u003cbr\u003e From automobile design to healthcare, labor, urban planning, politics, and disaster situations.\u003cbr\u003e Fighting gender ignorance and prejudice with facts.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Snow removal operations in the Swedish city of Karlskoga are a bit special.\u003cbr\u003e While other regions and countries start clearing snow on major roads and end on sidewalks and bike paths, snow removal in Karlskoga proceeds in the opposite order.\u003cbr\u003e It's clear why Karlskoga's snow removal approach focuses on pedestrians and public transport users.\u003cbr\u003e I found it easier to drive than to push a stroller (or wheelchair, or bicycle) in the snow. \u003cbr\u003eAnd when it comes to moving, walking or using public transportation, and having complicated routes due to grocery shopping or taking children to and from school, it is overwhelmingly women (regardless of nationality).\u003cbr\u003e The power of concrete, verified data was instrumental in revealing this truth, defying expectations that snow clearing would be gender-neutral.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"Invisible Women\" is significant in that it gathers together factual evidence that proves the invisible discrimination against women.\u003cbr\u003e To enhance reliability, we carefully selected official data released by various international organizations, NGOs, and governments, as well as articles and papers published in major media outlets. Each source is fully cited, resulting in approximately 1,330 references.\u003cbr\u003e In a world where deep-rooted data gaps make it difficult to find quantitatively and qualitatively satisfactory data on women, this book is a valuable treasure trove for researchers in the field of gender.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eDrawing on extensive statistical data and a wealth of case studies, the author delves into the reality of the \"tilted playing field\" that disadvantages women across 16 areas, including technology, labor, healthcare, urban planning, economics, politics, and disaster management.\u003cbr\u003e Although seemingly gender-neutral, there are countless instances of gender discrimination beyond snow removal.\u003cbr\u003e The performance-based performance evaluation system implemented by numerous companies and universities is advantageous to 'employees without anyone to take care of.'\u003cbr\u003e Considering that women perform 75% of unpaid care work globally and spend three to six hours a day on unpaid care, working mothers with children are running a different race at work.\u003cbr\u003e GDP, which is a standard for measuring a country's economic size, does not include housework or caregiving, which serves as an excuse to undervalue women's labor and productivity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThere is also ample evidence that clinical trials on women are not conducted in the life-threatening medical field.\u003cbr\u003e In 2014, the FDA reported that the second most common drug side effect in women was \"ineffectiveness.\"\u003cbr\u003e Even 'Valium', which is taken by 2 million women every year for conditions such as anxiety and epilepsy, has never been subjected to a randomized clinical trial on female subjects.\u003cbr\u003e The aspects of discrimination presented in this book remind us that the saying that women become poor, sick, and sometimes even die \"just because they are women\" is a reality, not an exaggeration.\u003cbr\u003e This is why \"Invisible Women\" is an essential resource for those fighting sexism, a powerful weapon in their arsenal, providing them with facts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e“This is a problem that goes beyond the boundaries of the passport.”\u003cbr\u003e Filling the gap that benefits both men and women\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWhen we talk about gender discrimination or the need to improve women's rights, we often get met with criticism that this only benefits women.\u003cbr\u003e The authors assert that filling the gender data gap benefits us all, regardless of gender.\u003cbr\u003e And the numbers prove it all.\u003cbr\u003e Before Sweden restructured its snow removal policy to focus on pedestrians, the cost of pedestrian accidents in winter was roughly twice the cost of road maintenance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e According to an official from the Stockholm Transport Board, “When we cleared 200 kilometers of bicycle and pedestrian paths with special machines, the accident rate was cut in half.” The World Economic Forum predicted that if the gender employment gap, which stands at 27% (global average), were eliminated, the US GDP would increase by up to 9% and the Eurozone GDP by up to 13%. \u003cbr\u003eOf course, this assumes that increased investment in public services will reduce women's unpaid care work.\u003cbr\u003e This is the moment when politicians' excuses about insufficient resources or limited growth potential become meaningless.\u003cbr\u003e Ultimately, it all comes down to priorities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e While this book contains the largest body of data on women currently available, it falls short of completely filling the data gap that has persisted for over 2,000 years.\u003cbr\u003e The authors also note that some things remain unstudied and therefore unknown as they explain the impact of data gaps on women.\u003cbr\u003e But it also offers a clear and fundamental way to solve the problem.\u003cbr\u003e It is about increasing the advancement of women in all fields.\u003cbr\u003e Women who participate in decision-making, research, and knowledge production do not forget women. \u003cbr\u003eInvisible Women clearly shows us how we should act and where we should go in a world full of blank spaces.
