Businesses, governments and community organizations are searching for practical ways to close gender gaps. But it can be hard to know what steps to take. Strategies that sound like good ideas aren’t always backed up research and evaluation.

The Gender Equality Evidence Hub is a new initiative that builds a bridge between academic research and the change agents who can put this knowledge into action.

The Hub gathers the research on “what works” to close gender gaps (and what doesn’t) and translates these insights into practical actions. By harnessing the strength of evidence-based approaches, the Hub empowers business leaders, policymakers, industry practitioners, teachers, students, and community advocates with sharper tools to make progress on gender equality.

The Hub’s resources are freely available online, communicated without technical jargon, and linked to high quality research, data and evidence.

Join us for the launch event where you’ll hear from the creator of the Gender Equality Evidence Hub, Dr. Leonora Risse, and special guests the Hon. Dr. Andrew Leigh MP (Assistant Minister for Productivity, Competition, Charities and Treasury, and Member for Fenner), Mary Wooldridge (CEO of the Australian Workplace Gender Equality Agency), Dr. Niki Vincent (Victorian Commissioner for Gender Equality in the Public Sector), Siri Chilazi (Gender Equality Researcher from Harvard University and co-author of Make Work Fair), Professor Matt Duckham (RMIT Enabling Impact Platform Director), and host Stacey Ong (Women’s Leadership Institute Australia Fellow and Executive Director of One Red Step).
