In a first-of-its-kind effort,&lsquo;Counting Feminicide: Data Feminism in Action&rsquo; documents the creative, intellectual, and emotional labor of data activists across the Americas as they seek to fill the institutional gap in counting femicides and gender-related killings. One of the main arguments of this book is that it is not computer scientists, think tanks, philosophers, critical data studies scholars, engineers or policy people who are developing the most sophisticated approached to the ethical use of data for public benefit, but rather grassroots feminist data activists, predominantly from Latin America, who are at the forefront of data ethics in the service of justice.</div>

<p dir="ltr"><span style="background-color: rgb(51, 189, 189);">Who is this Book and Movie Club for?</span></p>
Academics, activists, journalists, policymakers, planners, and citizens who care about:
<ol>

<p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Gender-related violence and the role that feminist movements and grassroots initiatives are playing in addressing it with data, especially in Latin America.</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation">How data, data visualization and AI can be used for social justice. The book critiques conventional data science practices to demonstrate how feminicide data activists are enacting a data ethics that centers care, memory, healing and structural change. This approach is called &ldquo;restorative/transformative data science&rdquo;.&nbsp;</p>
</li>
</ol>
<strong><br></strong><span style="background-color: rgb(51, 189, 189);">How Does it Work?</span></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Our book club will enable participants to delve into the care, memory and justice work conducted by grassroots data activists to shed light on feminicide by meeting with the author and discussing the book with the Eureka community over the course of 3 months. We&rsquo;ll help you to keep pace with the reading, and facilitate safe spaces for discussion.</div>

The book is authored by Catherine D&rsquo;Ignazio, director of the Data + Feminism Lab at MIT and co-author, with Lauren F. Klein, of the widely praised &lsquo;Data Feminism&rsquo; (2020), a book that described the seven principles of data feminism, and which are put into action and embodied by the data activists featured in &lsquo;Counting Feminicide&rsquo;.</div>

The database/spreadsheet is a sacred space, a memorial to victims of feminicide 

<div>I have created this image reflecting my initial thoughts on what 'Counting Feminicides' may entail, on the emotions evoked by its title. As a Latin American woman, I acknowledge the fear and distress of being surrounded by an environment cruel and violent towards women. That's what I aimed to portray using Eureka's embedded AI generator.</div>

Emotions Inspired by 'Counting Feminicide' - AI-Generated Art

<div>I did an image based on this excerpt from chapter 1: "the real-&shy; world, already-&shy; existing practices of data activists have much to offer those of us who seek to support and sustain alternative, feminist, anti-&shy; racist, Indigenous, queer, Black and/or decolonial data epistemologies"</div>

The real world data activists

Let's move together!

<div>It's important to create data on gender based violence, but it's more than necessary having gender-diverse approach and always questioning the reason to colect and produce sensitive data</div>

having gender-diverse approach

<div>The most important discussions have to start somewhere. I am glad to have the opportunity of starting this important discussion here.</div>

starting the process!

<div>I believe we will have the opportunity of developing a stronger community sense in this Club!</div>

moving together
