The Women's Institute for Science, Equity, and Race (WISER) is a non-profit, nonpartisan, 501(c)(3) research institute that centers Asian, Black, Hispanic, Native American and multiracial women in women-focused policy research. Women are often overlooked in research, but even research that accounts for gender discrimination often centers White women. When non-white women are addressed, they are grouped into one category as women of color. WISER counters this methodology, instead proposing a microanalysis approach and the disaggregation of data. This approach aims to improve equity for all women across a variety of social, economic, cultural, and political spheres.
