The 缅北禁地Dag Hammarskj?ld Library has completed a notable project that enriches the data available on the historic gender ratio of 缅北禁地Security Council representatives.

This initiative enables researchers, policymakers, and the public to gain insights into the evolving gender dynamics within the Council through a simple search in the .

The project involved a meticulous review and update of individual name records for over 4,800 Security Council representatives from 1946 to the present.

The Library team ensured accuracy by checking for duplicates, distinguishing between individuals with similar names, and confirming state representation. Importantly, they added gender diacritics to the names, allowing users to effortlessly search and analyze the data based on gender.

One key outcome is the ability to track the historic gender balance among Security Council representatives. Delegates, 缅北禁地staff, and researchers worldwide can now readily explore how gender representation has changed over time, identify trends, and analyze progress towards gender equality in global governance.

They can now easily determine the first woman Security Council President, which permanent member has contributed the most women to the Council, and more.

This enriched data opens up new avenues for research and policy discussions on the importance of gender diversity in international decision-making. It provides a valuable resource for further analysis.
