Evidence before statements
364 Days asks institutions for evidence, not values statements. The focus is on data, methods, timelines, outcomes and consequences.
About · 364 Days
What is 364 Days?
364 Days is a global accountability initiative focused on the 364 days beyond International Women's Day. It collects the questions women and allies want institutions to answer publicly about gender equity, power, pay, progression, safety and accountability.
The problem
International Women's Day can create visibility, but visibility is not accountability. Every March, organisations celebrate women, publish statements, host panels and repeat their commitments to equality. Then the year continues. Pay gaps remain. Promotions stall. Bullying and harassment complaints disappear into process. Care work is relied on but rarely rewarded. Women leave, burn out, or stay silent because the costs of speaking are too high.
The problem is not that institutions say nothing. The problem is that they often say too much without being required to answer anything specific.
What 364 Days does
364 Days collects questions, not personal testimony. Participants are not asked to make allegations or describe individual experiences. They are asked to select the institutional questions they believe should be answered publicly.
The questions ask for information institutions should already hold: who is paid what, who gets promoted, whose complaints are upheld, who holds power, who leaves, and who is accountable when nothing changes. The results will be used to identify the themes communities are raising across institutions and countries. Ahead of International Women’s Day 2027, institutions will be invited to respond publicly.
Why questions, not allegations
Questions invite transparency. A question is not an allegation; it is a demand for evidence. The power of 364 Days is that it exposes not only what institutions do, but what they are prepared to account for.
The unanswered question is part of the evidence.
What will be published
364 Days will publish aggregate statistics showing which questions are being selected, by which kinds of institutions, countries and groups, where it is safe to do so. Questions will be reported in aggregate and prioritised according to how frequently participants identify them as important.
Demographic breakdowns will only be published where there are at least 10 responses in the relevant group and where the combination of data is not likely to identify anyone. Results may be suppressed or combined even above that threshold if there is a risk of identification.
What will not be published
- Individual responses will not be published.
- Names, emails, exact job titles, departments and personal stories will not be collected in the main survey.
- Demographic combinations that could identify respondents will not be published.
- Raw individual-level survey data will not be shared with institutions, funders, partners or ambassadors.
Ready to ask?
364 Days is an independent initiative focused on institutional accountability. It asks communities to identify the questions institutions should be expected to answer publicly about gender equity.
The name speaks to the 364 days of the year that are not International Women's Day the days when accountability should continue.
Our approach
â—Ž
Transparency through questions
The Barometer begins with the questions communities want answered. Those questions create a public agenda for institutional transparency.
â—Ž
Community-led priorities
Women and allies identify the questions that matter most to them. Institutions do not decide alone what counts as accountability.
â—Ž
Global, inclusive and independent
364 Days is designed to work across countries, sectors and institutions while protecting respondents and preserving independence.
