Women in economics have unfortunately become accustomed to dealing with sexism and harassment in the workplace. This reduces women’s productivity and limits their success and should never be tolerated.

CSWEP strongly condemns Larry Summers’ behavior as revealed in the email correspondence with the late Jeffrey Epstein. While abuse of power in the economics profession is not new, rarely has the intent behind such abuse been so clearly stated.

The revelations about Summers & Epstein reflect a profession that has tolerated exclusionary norms and hostility toward women for decades. The discipline cannot claim credibility while ignoring its own misogyny. We need to enforce codes of conduct and prioritize accountability.#Econsky

Such a travesty that the Demographic and Health Survey program was terminated this week. I realize the Gates Foundation can't pick up all the pieces, but this one seems like a natural one for them to pick up given that the DHS is the go-to data source for many of their focus areas.
