The Measures for Advancing Gender Equality (MAGNET)

MAGNET RESOURCE CENTER

The Measures for Advancing Gender Equality (MAGNET) initiative aims to (i) broaden and deepen the measurement of women’s agency, based on the development of new tools and rigorous testing and comparison of both new and existing methods for measuring agency, and (ii) promote the adoption of these measures at scale. By increasing the availability of innovative and meaningful measures of agency for a broad range of settings, this work strives to improve our collective understanding of what women’s agency is, how it manifests and how it can best be measured across contexts.
