About the Project

moirée is an interactive case study database documenting structural disadvantage experienced by women and non-binary people in the workplace — launched in the DACH region, with ongoing expansion across Europe. The project makes invisible patterns visible that are often dismissed as coincidence in individual cases — through systematic collection and scientific classification.

The database is aimed at journalists, researchers, NGOs, and affected individuals. All case studies are anonymized, citable, and linked to academic studies. The data is collected according to scientific standards and is freely accessible under an open license.

The project covers experiences from various industries and regions — currently in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, prospectively in further European countries. Each case is assigned to one or more experience types — from Gatekeeping to Gender Pay Gap to Gender-Exclusion — and linked to existing research literature.

EU Expansion: moiree.eu is gradually expanding to further European countries. Each country operates as an independent chapter with local coordination, translated interface, and country-specific crisis resources. Priority countries for the first wave: France, Netherlands, Sweden, Spain.

Quotes

Structural disadvantage often only becomes visible when individual cases are systematically collected and scientifically classified. That is exactly what moirée does — it transforms individual experiences into citable data.
In the German-speaking region, there is a lack of a publicly accessible, structured data foundation on professional disadvantage experienced by women and non-binary people. We aim to close this gap with a scientifically grounded yet accessible approach.
Every case in the database is anonymized, linked to academic literature, and available under an open license. Our goal is to give affected individuals a voice while upholding scientific standards.
