Book Club: Counting Femicide by Catherine D’Ignazio
This Book Club, featured the book “Counting Femicide” by Catherine D’Ignazio, which 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. The Club facilitated a safe space for discussion with the author herself during 8 live discussion sessions. Both the events and the by-weekly summaries were available for participants in English, but also in Spanish and Portuguese, thus expanding the reach of the book. This initiative gathered academics, activists, journalists, policymakers, planners, and citizens interested in the concepts of “Data Feminism.”
