Data Feminism 101 with Naomi Nyamweya (Malala Fund)

We are joined by the wonderful Naomi Nyamweya. Naomi is the Research Officer for Malala Fund where she conducts data-driven research and policy analysis to support Malala Fund’s advocacy for girls’ education. She’s also taken on an advisory role at DFN as one of our board members as she’s passionate about bringing more women and minorities into the world of data. In this episode, we introduce the principles of data feminism, illustrate how standard practices in data science reinforce existing inequalities, and explores how we can leverage data to challenge and change unequal distributions of power.
