The Gender Gap in Gaming

Project tags:

data curation

equity & inclusion

social justice

The gaming space and culture have been known to be discriminatory and toxic towards women online and in the workplace. Our team has worked to develop an interactive website that informs users about the gender gap in the gaming industry while providing them with a platform to share their experiences with gender discrimination. We have included data visualizations from pre-established datasets, created a form automatically updating visualizations for our users to submit, and provided an extensive list of video, text, audio, and event resources for our users to explore.
