I’ve spent years investigating the gender data gap, and how women are simply forgotten in a world designed for men. In this new 12-part podcast series from Tortoise, I’ll hunt for missing data, get into fights with manufacturing companies and, with the help of expert guests, try to figure out how to solve such a giant problem.
When the pandemic hit, Caroline Criado Perez was inundated with messages from female healthcare workers telling her that their PPE – things like masks and goggles – didn’t fit. In this first episode of her brand new investigative series, join Caroline as she goes on the hunt for missing data and asks: can we fix PPE?
In the first Visible Women bonus episode, Caroline Criado Perez is joined by producer Hannah Varrall and data correspondent Patricia Clarke as she listens to tales of ill-fitting PPE sent in by listeners. They discuss everything from offshore survival suits to armoured bras – and how they never quite fit.
Girls around the world are being pushed to the edges of their own playgrounds – forced into corners, or under stairs, as boys dominate the space. Caroline finds the data that shows why this matters — and asks what we can do to fix it. She also whizzes down some slides in the name of research.
