To mark International Women’s Rights Day 2017 (March 8), the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) launched a new edition of the eAtlas of Gender Inequality in Education to show where girls and women are making progress and where they are being left behind at every level of education.

A series of interactive maps and charts bring to life an extraordinary range of data for about 200 countries produced by the UIS, which is the official data source for the global goal on education. The eAtlas is an indispensable resource in efforts to eliminate gender disparities by 2030 as part of the Sustainable Development Goals, putting data in the hands of policymakers, activists and engaged citizens striving to take down the barriers that prevent girls and women from tapping into the transformative power of education.
