Your Online Resource on Gender Equality
|
Wikigender (www.wikigender.org) is the OECD’s first interactive website using "wiki" technology. It allows registered users to add, edit or comment on the information provided. The website follows a 3-tier approach. Depending on the member status, it allows users to (i) read, (ii) modify or (iii) protect content, which guarantees the security of sensitive and proprietary information. A special label signals when content is provided by an official source, such as the OECD.

Background
Closely linked to the Development Centre’s current work on gender, but destined to evolve as more members of the community become involved, Wikigender fulfils a need for the “gender community” to maintain dynamic contact across the globe. For the OECD, this initiative provides the unique opportunity to reach out to new communities, to engage in a dialogue with users and to test the idea of expanding the "wiki" platform, in line with the 2007 Istanbul Declaration and the OECD’s Global Project on “Measuring the Progress of Societies".
The Wikigender site is provided to the global community to foster the analysis of gender issues. It grew out of the Development Centre’s Gender Institutions and Development Data Base (www.oecd.org/dev/gid).
