“Gender statistics is not a statistical field, what is special about
it?”
“Nowadays women have the same opportunities as
men. So where is the problem?”
“All our data are sex-disaggregated
anyway. What’s the
problem?”
“The role of women is not an issue in our country. We have
resource constraints and we need to concentrate
on other areas.”
“Business statistics does not relate to
gender.”
“We do not want to overburden
the respondents.”
“Adding gender will
cost too much.”

Delivery Phase cont. Community of PracticeCommunity of Practice
• Communities of Practice are groups of people who share a common concern or a passion for something they do and learn how to do better as they interact regularly. In pursuing their interest in their domain (in our case it is statistics), members engage in joint activities and discussions, help each other, and share information. They build relationships that enable them to learn from each other.
