Gender statistics inform policy and programme decisions and are critical for effective monitoring and analyses of gender gains and gaps. The need and demand for gender statistics at the national, regional and global level for systematic mainstreaming of a gender perspective within national statistical systems and in the production of gender statistics remain unmet in many areas.

To meet the growing demand for comparable gender statistics, the Gender Statistics Programme at the Statistics Division in ESCWA over the years has evolved and expanded its activities to include bulletins, technical papers and materials, expert group meetings and workshops, handbooks, databases and portals, capacity building and e-learning toolkits, a regional newsletter on gender statistics activities in addition to a gender glossary in the Arabic language.
