Digital Justice features feminist Anita Gurumurthy’s (IT for Change) analysis of the role data plays in contemporary society. She invites feminists to pay closer attention to this issue as yet another battleground in the fight for equality and justice. Anita is followed by Claire Slatter’s (DAWN’s Board Chair) insightful comments on data governance and Anasuya Sengupta’s (WhoseKnowledge) powerful framework on epistemology in the digital age.

In this series of videos, we invite you to experience what DAWN’s analysis looks like, presented live at an international meeting. We join forces with partners and contributors from other organisations to think and discuss contemporary issues such as corporate capture, religious extremism, biopolitics and the climate crisis.

DAWN owes its sustained activism throughout the years to all the great women who have committed their time, strength, and expertise to build critical South analyses of global issues. Strategically located as a feminist network within the paradoxical spaces opened by globalisation, DAWN engages with other networks in its advocacy for gender, economic and ecological justice as well as sustainable and democratic development. The meeting where this video was captured is an example of this process.
