To be Counted When They Count You: Words of Caution for the Gender Data Revolution: by Noopur Raval — published Feb 01, 2022 — filed under: RAW Publications, Big Data, Researchers at Work, BD4D, RAW Research, Big Data for Development
In 2015, after the announcement of the SDGs or Sustainable Development Goals, a new global developmental framework through the year 2030, the United Nations described data as the “lifeblood of decision-making and the raw material for accountability” for the purpose of realizing these developmental goals. This curious yet key link between these new developmental goals and the use of quantitative data for agenda setting invited a flurry of big data-led initiatives such as but not limited to Data2X, that sought to further strengthen and solidify the relationship between ‘Big Development’ and ‘Big Data.’

Understanding Feminist Infrastructures: An Exploratory Study of Online Feminist Content Creation Spaces in India: by Puthiya Purayil Sneha and Saumyaa Naidu — published Mar 25, 2024 — last modified Mar 25, 2024 01:02 PM — filed under: Researchers at Work, RAW Blog, Research
This report explores the growth of feminist infrastructures (including the various interpretations of the term), through research on feminist publishing, content creation and curation spaces and how they have informed the contemporary discourse on feminism, gender, and sexuality in India. The rise of online feminist publications, and related digital media content creation and curation spaces, has engendered new forums for debate, networking, and community-building. This report looks at some of the challenges of developing such publications and platforms, and the role of digital infrastructures in mediating contemporary feminist work and politics.

It will map the prevalence of Al auditing practices within the sector to arrive at an understanding of frameworks that may be developed to check for ethical considerations - such as algorithmic bias and harm within healthcare systems, especially against marginalised and vulnerable populations.
