What is it about?
Women's empowerment has been difficult to see and understand because there just isn't great data. Taking advantage of a survey that is used in many countries, we were able to create maps of women's empowerment with regards to Intimate Partner Violence, Family Planning, Reproductive Healthcare, Employment, Education, and Decision-Making in three different years (1995, 2005, and 2015).
