Description
We discovered the categories of the websites that talk the most about Gender Equality and Inequality, and what specific sub categories they each discuss. Our next step was to find out what tone they used. The first two graphs show the 100 links for each query, representing the articles we analyzed, with the positive, neutral or negative sentiment with two intermediate positions, positive-neutral and negative-neutral.
The last graph summarises the analysis and correlates the categories of websites with the numbers of articles divided by sentiment. They are divided into the categories we identified in the first chapter, since we think it's of great interest to see which language they use to talk about the topic.
What emerges from the data is that for 'Gender Inequality' we have mostly a negative/neutral sentiment word frequency, while for 'Gender Equality' we have a prevalence of positive/neutral word choice. We can see the tendancy for each query devided into every category.
Protocol
We used Aylien tool to detect the sentiment of the first 100 articles for each query. The programme allows us to see if the contents of each article or webpage use predominantly negative, positive or neutral language in relation to the use of words but not to the topic.
For instance, Aylien identified sentence like "Occupational segregation with women tending to have lower-waged occupations in the economy and a lower female labour force participation" - caribank.org as negative and "Today there are more women in public office than ever before, but encouraging women leaders will help strengthen policies and legislation for greater gender equality" - undp.org as positive.

The first dataset consists of a table including the 100 links for each query and the sentiment of each one. In the second dataset we have the categories of website and the sentiment of the articles divided into positive, neutral and negative with their two intermediate positions.
