We partnered with @TheSyriaCmpgn to interview 12 frontline activists from three different conflicts and with @RIWIdata to survey over 4,000 people in the UK, Germany, and France. The goal? To understand how activists and engaged social media users are self censoring.#data4change

Ready to rethink “professional standards” in #CitizenData? Our article explores who benefits when these standards try to define what "valid data" is—and whether they help or hinder community voices. It’s a big question, what are your thoughts? linkedin.com/pulse/community… #DataEquity

In Community (Data) We Trust

In recent years there has been a growing recognition of the importance of communities generating and controlling their own data. Data4Change was part of the initial working group that helped shape...

R-SEAT: Refugees Seeking Equal Access at the Table
@RefugeesSeat

R-SEAT is honored to be the first refugee-led organization (RLO) to draft & deliver the NGO Collective Statement at the UNHCR #ExCom in Geneva. Our East Africa Regional Lead, Ishimwe Jean Marie, delivered the statement at the 75th session of the ExCom. The statement calls for an urgent and effective action to protect & save lives and promote equal dignity, protection, and peace for all. Key recommendations are: 1️. Prioritize saving lives and ensure access to protection and essential services, such as education and healthcare; 2️. All stakeholders must proactively address the public backlash against forcibly displaced and stateless persons, both in public discourse and political rhetoric; 3. Recognize the importance of meaningful refugee participation as a tool to enhance refugee responses at all levels. You can read the full statement here: buff.ly/4dSfE9u #ExCom #Refugees #RSEAT

Only 17% of the urban refugees we surveyed had been able to access higher education in Kenya @EduMinKenya. 38% had wanted to access it, but had not been able to due to the high costs. Get the new data & our policy recommendations futurewithwakimbizi.org supported by @data4change.

In Kenya, if a refugee’s Refugee ID Card application is rejected, it’s often because they’re still waiting for the Refugee Status Determination (RSD) decision @DRSKenya. Get the new data & our policy recommendations futurewithwakimbizi.org supported by @data4change.

Together with the amazing team at @LifelineEmpower we have collected and visualised intimate partner violence #IPV #data in a whole new way, check out the research at: equal-victims.lifelineempowe… #EndIPV

NEITHER WHO or the Uganda Bureau of Statistics collect data on the prevalence of IPV among the LGBTQ community.  In fact, when it comes to IPV and LGBTQ relationships, there is a big data gap both globally & here in Uganda.  Our Research equal-victims.lifelineempowe… comes in handy.
