International Women’s Day 2025: Importance of Gender in Research

Gender is not just a category, it is a lens that helps us understand the world more deeply. Researchers today are increasingly aware of their responsibility to prioritize gender at every stage, from designing studies to analyzing data. By doing so, they create research that is not only more meaningful but also more inclusive, ensuring it truly serves the diverse communities it aims to support. It’s through this commitment to equity that we can drive real change In the first of our 3-part video series for this International Women’s Day, we asked our CHORUS researchers how to ensure gender is appropriately considered in study designs, data analysis, and outcomes. See what insights they had to share.
