Invitation to an Afro-feminist Perspectives on Data Governance Session on November 27, 2023, from 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm via Zoom.
Dear Listers, Greetings! KICTANet <https://www.kictanet.or.ke/> together with the Collaboration on International ICT Policy for East and Southern Africa (CIPESA <https://cipesa.org/>) and Internews <https://internews.org/> are hosting a virtual session on Afro-feminist perspectives on data governance on November 27, 2023, from 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm via Zoom. This session will explore the critical role of Afro-feminist thought in shaping data governance practices that address the unique challenges faced by women and marginalized genders in Africa. The objective of the session is to help participants understand the gender biases that exist in data governance practices and the repercussions of data protection regimes that perpetuate misogyny and bias against women and gender minorities and explore the concept of gender-responsive data protection and privacy. This session will contribute to regional discussions on online safety and data protection, drawing lessons learned from implementing data protection frameworks in Africa, and advocate for policy alternatives and amendments, improvements to fill gaps identified during policy implementation, and data governance initiatives. We invite you to participate in the Afro-Feminist Perspectives on Data Governance Discussion from 02:00 pm to 03:30 pm via *Zoom*. Please see the concept note and programme for more details on the KICTANet events page on the website <https://www.kictanet.or.ke/what-we-do/events/> To confirm your attendance, please register here <https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwucuigpzovHdw9ENsEkP_8_nmbSTWD4n4j> .

Dear Listers, On Monday, we hosted a webinar on “Afro-feminist Perspectives on Data Governance” together with CIPESA and Internews where we explored the gender biases and challenges that women and gender minorities face in the collection, use, and sharing of their data by different actors, such as governments, corporations, or hackers. The speakers, Ashnah Kalemera, Programme Manager at CIPESA, and Cherie Oyier, KICTANet’s Program Officer, Women’s Digital Rights, shared their insights and experiences on how to secure our online privacy and security and what measures and policies are needed to ensure that our data rights are respected and protected. They also highlighted the importance of gender data governance and the need for disaggregating data based on gender and other factors, such as ethnicity, disability, or sexual orientation. They argued that women and marginalized communities, such as LGBTQI+ people, face various forms of discrimination and oppression that are rooted in historical and cultural norms and practices and that affect their access to and control over their data.
