The Reality Today

Less than one-third of the voices included in Canadian media belong to women and gender-diverse people. Our groundbreaking Gender Gap Tracker monitors this representation gap across Canada’s most influential news outlets — in real time.

Why This Matters

Every missing voice is a missing perspective. When women and gender-diverse people aren’t quoted in the news:

  • Critical viewpoints go unheard
  • Policy decisions lack diverse input
  • Innovation stalls without varied perspectives
  • Our democracy falls short of true representation
