Webinar on Prospects for Achieving Epistemic Data Justice for Rural Women in Tanzania and Kenya
Date: Thursday July 25, 2024
Time: 10:00am – 11:30am CET / 11:00am – 12:30pm EAT
This webinar will culminate the research project on data justice and governance carried out under the 2024 Data Governance Centre Fellowship. The entire webinar, which will be facilitated by Nelson Otieno Okeyo, is dedicated to presenting how epistemic data justice principles could be used to retool the law and address the legal shortcomings of regimes for managing epistemic data injustices that rural women experience in Kenya and Tanzania. In terms of scope, the presentation shall consider the principles deduced from rule of law, human rights approach, and best practice. In the end, the presentation shall aim to achieve three main objectives:
- Demonstrate the challenges of epistemic data injustices that rural women face.
- Create awareness of how legal regimes for assessing data protection risks could operate alongside the concepts and principles of epistemic data justice to find pathways that address legal shortcomings in data protection risk assessment.
- Evaluate and present the recommendation for inter-state learning for better use of pathways to implementing epistemic data justice for rural women in Tanzania and Kenya.
