I felt similar while reading India[1]. One wouldnt simply find any women's basketball club related articles at least till next decade when Basketball (AND) club level sport become active/notable enough in the country leave alone gendergap. Similar comment can be made for Wikiversity, leadership too. I agree with Lodewijk that templated information might not be really helpful in getting perspectives, atleast not this template. Searching India+women across projects is also a bad idea and is expected to produce numbers which would obviously be low, a Regex search might be better, (See AlexNewarticlesBot list[2] how WP:INDIA on enwp searches for India related content)

Can perspectives actually ask some of the active women editors / members to share their "perspectives" instead of having templated data? Literacy ratio, e-literacy ratio might be some good data points to add on the templated data.

//There are no women from this country who are administrators on incubator and no active women editors from this country. The project has few participants overall, with only 44 users identified as female and 516 identified as male.//

Can I know from where this data was taken? There are *quite a few* active women editors from the country, with ratios of men:women matching rest of world. (May be even better, since fewer men are active editors).
