English Translation: Telling stories with data about violence against women

This guidebook emerged in the framework of the project Data Against Feminicide, a collaboration between Catherine D’Ignazio (Data + Feminism Lab @ MIT), Silvana Fumega (ILDA) and Helena Suárez Val (Feminicidio Uruguay), who came together through a shared interest in feminicide data.

Keywords: Feminicides, Data Stories, Gender Violence, Invisible Violence, Counterdata

The project aims not to collect or aggregate data but to support and sustain the already existing practices of activists who care for femicide data in their own contexts.

The project has three key objectives:

– fostering an international community of practice around feminicide data

– developing tools to support the collection of feminicide data from media sources

– supporting efforts to standardize the production of feminicide data where appropriate

We want to democratize data science and promote transparency to combat social inequalities. We believe that the use of information should not require advanced knowledge. That is why we work to reduce barriers to technology adoption.
