Afro-Feminist Data Futures Manifesto
summary
On July 12–13, 2023, Pollicy at the 2023 DataFest Africa convened the Afro-Feminist Data Futures Festival, which brought together 25 participants, cutting across feminist activists, legal scholars, academia, and human rights defenders from different global contexts from across Africa, to re-envision the future of data (including gender data, data governance, AI, and other emerging technologies) on the African continent from an Afrofeminist perspective. This festival is intended to create and shape narratives and conversations on African gender data and how they shape narratives for system and policy change now and in the future.
