Gender equality
Bloomberg just released its latest edition of the Gender-Equality Index, covering 484 companies in 45 countries and across 54 industries. The index tracks the performance of public companies that disclose their efforts to support gender equality – and for the first time also covered other areas, including LGBTQ+, race, and ethnicity, in the framework.

Bias
“Correct the internet” just launched a new campaign to raise awareness about gender bias in internet searches, and increase the visibility of women in sports. Watch the video!
