GA Tally App
Women’s Voices Count

 
 
 

Without measurement, there’s no accountability, and without accountability, there’s no change. Let’s start a more nuanced conversation about who is in the room. We empower you to use data to reveal how women* and women of color are and are not represented in the public sphere. Women make up 51% of the global population. Our goal is to make sure that women comprise 50% of contributors to public conversations. And because one in every 5 people in the US is a woman of color, we expect women of color to make up at least 20% of the entire conversation.

* GenderAvenger affirms that trans women are women.

Two Ways to Count!

 
 


Count Who's Present

Call out the imbalances or celebrate those who are doing it right by creating your own GA Tally.

  1. Fire up your GA Tally app
  2. Select “Count Who’s Present”
  3. Submit the number of men, women, women of color, and nonbinary persons on a panel, a “best of” list, etc.
  4. Upload your own photo or let the GA Tally generate a snarky pie chart
  5. Share your tally on social media and tag @GenderAvenger!

Time Who's Talking

When it comes to elevating women’s voices in the public dialog, counting who’s there is only half the battle. Whether you are in a meeting or attending a conference, you can track and share who is dominating the conversation using the GA Tally app.

  1. Fire up your GA Tally app
  2. Select “Time Who’s Talking”
  3. Decide if you want to…
    • Use our timer: Just press the button when a person in one of our three categories speaks
      • OR
    • Enter the time: You can keep time somewhere else and add that information manually into the app
  4. Identify who’s talking. We have three categories to determine who’s taking up airtime in meetings, at events, and at conferences. These categories are:
    • “a dude” = identifies as a male from any racial demographic
    • “not a dude (white)” = identifies as not a male and is white
    • “not a dude (of color)” = identifies as not a male and is a person of color
  5. Submit and share your data with us at @GenderAvenger!

If you are uncomfortable using your own social media profiles to share your tally, just hit “submit anonymously” and GenderAvenger will share it for you!

Why We Use Weather

The GenderAvenger Tally app evolved from the GenderAvenger Hall of Fame and Hall of Shame, where we used stars and clouds to signal good or bad gender representation. Weather is very descriptive of moods. As the tool evolved, we learned that weather was the perfect way to visually signal how people felt about a particular event.
