💫#Policy looks different when #gender isn’t an afterthought but part of every question - from tariffs to interest rates. My piece for @voxeu with @iea_we ✨
Tariffs & interest rates aren't gender neutral—they impact men & women differently. Ignoring sex-disaggregated data gives incomplete analysis & inequitable outcomes. What's missing isn't just women's voices, but women's realities. @NavikaMehta for @voxeu
