Abstract
There are not enough sex-disaggregated data available globally to form a clear picture of the intricacies of gender inequality and how they play out over the course of women’s and girls’ lives. In this context, civil registration and vital statistics (CRVS) datasets do more than offer quantitative data from forms and notices. They provide evidence of the milestones of life; documents that are often fought for and obtained despite multiple hardships. CRVS documents can provide legal certainty and empower their holders to claim rights they might otherwise forgo, willingly or otherwise.
