ISCN Global Mixer: Data feminism and its relevance for Smart Cities

Data feminism addresses gender inequalities and recognizes discriminatory power structures in the field of data science. For a conscious handling of data in smart cities, various principles of data feminism can therefore be helpful in detecting and preventing discriminatory patterns.

The GIZ Data Lab brings together practitioners and creatives to promote the effective, fair, and responsible use of digital data for sustainable development. In this regard, the Lab is involved in different activities in the field of data feminism and currently working on concrete possibilities to implement a feminist approach to data. Vanessa Hochwald will share insights and experiences from the Data Lab and illustrate the importance of a feminist approach to data.    

The event is part of the ISCN Global Mixer, a series of events organized by the International Smart Cities Network. The presentations cover a wide range of topics related to international smart city approaches and provide exciting insights into urban digitalization worldwide - in just 30 minutes.
