<p>GenderStats is updated continuously as new information becomes available. The database is work in progress and its coverage has been expanded to include themes that range from health and education to political participation and poverty. Sex-disaggregated data for some themes are limited. The database includes indicators for which sex-disaggregated data are in many cases unavailable to point out the importance of collecting such data in a disaggregated form. This often can be done at the source of collection.
