MISSING: Information About Women's Lives
The National Council for Research on Women (NCRW) has released MISSING:
Information About Women's Lives, a 30-page report that begins
to document how vital data has been deleted, buried, distorted, or
has otherwise gone missing from government websites and publications.
NCRW has also debuted its MisInformation Clearinghouse, a growing
record of omissions, alterations, and distortions of vital and accurate
information about women and girls' lives that was once readily available
to researchers, policymakers, and the public. The Clearinghouse also
offers a repository of links to sites where good information can still
be found.
NCRW is working to develop the Clearinghouse project through submissions
of specific Web pages that provide accurate facts, reliable expert
analysis, timely data, and additional information useful to policymakers,
researchers, and others. To order the report, read the executive summary,
access information, or submit resources, visit www.ncrw.org/misinfo/index.htm.

to recruite and retain students of color and strategies to empower
