Gates Foundation Puts $80M Into Closing "Gender Data" Gap

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is putting $80M into an effort to close what it says is a "gender data" gap, to help promote gender equality around the world. The foundation, in an effort announced in Copenhagen by Melinda Gates, says the $80M will go to help fix a problem with a lack of comprehensive, current information about women and girls, especially in developing countries. The foundation said that lack of data is hindering efforts to advance gender equality.
