Who Counts? Legal Gender Recognition in Civil Registration | Data for Health Webinar Series

Who Counts? Legal Gender Recognition in Civil Registration | Gender, Data & Equity Webinar Series How do civil registration systems recognize and record gender, and what are the implications for individuals whose gender identity differs from their sex assigned at birth? In this webinar, hosted by the Gender Equity Unit at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, experts explore the intersection of legal gender recognition, civil registration, and vital statistics systems. Moderated by Dr. Clare Conry-Murray, Associate Director of the Gender Equity Unit, the discussion examines how legal and administrative frameworks shape gender recognition, the challenges individuals face when navigating civil registration systems, and the implications for inclusive and accurate population data. This webinar is the first in a three-part global series exploring legal gender recognition in civil registration systems across different country contexts.
