CBCB researchers Keith Hughitt, Lee Mendelowitz, and Joseph Paulson create an interactive tool that compares country data on women’s empowerment and stunting

Tue Nov 25, 2014
CBCB researchers Keith Hughitt, Lee Mendelowitz, and Joseph Paulson volunteered for a visualization hackathon for a D.C. non-profit called Bread for the World. They cleaned up some data and prepared a visualization of the relationship/correlation between malnutrition and women's empowerment throughout the world. Data shows that countries that empower women tend to have lower rates of stunting, which is a measure of chronic undernutrition. Their work was published in Bread for the World’s annual hunger report.
