A ‘design justice’ approach to developing digital tools for addressing gender-based violence: Exploring the possibilities and limits of feminist chatbots
Digital tools, such as safety apps, reporting portals, and chatbots, are increasingly being used by victim-survivors of gender-based violence to report unlawful activity and access specialized support and information. Despite their limitations, these interventions offer a range of potential benefits, such as enhancing decisional certainty, promoting safety behaviors, and fostering positive psychological outcomes. In this paper, we introduce an in…
To what extent does Together with Gloria! expand the reach of Sasa! Together community programming? A mixed methods evaluation of an edutainment intervention in Kasese, Uganda
TWG expanded overall reach of in-person SASA! Together programming, and reduced geographical disparities in access. Use of multiple radio-stations/broadcasting timeslots allowed many to listen despite competing time-commitments. Future revisions to broaden access and appeal could include communal broadcasts in public places, and the incorporation of characters and storylines to resonate with younger childless men
I have learned that nothing is given for free”: An exploratory qualitative evaluation of a social norms edutainment intervention broadcast on local radio to prevent age-disparate transactional sex in …
These findings highlight the need for further implementation research to explore ways to effectively engage men. They also underscore the potential of engaging, evidence-based edutainment interventions in fostering spontaneous critical reflection about complex behaviours such as age-disparate transactional sex, and diffusing key messages among target populations without the use of organised diffusion activities
Judicial Constructions of Harm in Australian Image-Based Sexual Abuse Case Law: A Feminist Discourse Analysis
Despite almost every Australian state and territory criminalizing image-based sexual abuse (IBSA), which includes the non-consensual taking, creating, or sharing of intimate images, judicial discourse in this context remains underexplored. In this article, using feminist critical discourse analysis, we investigate how Australian courts conceptualize the harms of IBSA in 47 criminal and civil cases. We find that while the serious harms suffered by…
Feminist Data Ethics of Care for Machine Learning: The what, why, who and how
This article conceptualises and provides a roadmap for operationalising a feminist data ethics of care framework for the subfield of artificial intelligence (‘AI’) known as ‘machine learning’. After outlining the principles and praxis that comprise our framework, and then using it to evaluate the current state of mainstream AI ethics content, we argue that this literature tends to be overly abstract and founded on a heteropatriarchal world view. …
Digital citizenship in a global society: A feminist approach
In an era of datafication, social networking, and globalization, “digital citizenship” has become an increasingly relevant and popular concept employed by diverse societal actors to promote digital capacity, literacy, and participation. To date, however, limited scholarly attention has been paid to the role of gender power relations in digital citizenship discourses, theories, or practices. In this paper, we conceptualize digital citizenship as a…
Images of Post-Mastectomy Scarring on Instagram: An Evaluation of Content Moderation and the Implications for Public Health
This paper presents the results of a pilot study examining the moderation of images depicting post-mastectomy scaring on Instagram by skin tone darkness and the presence or absence of tattoos. It focuses on Instagram given widespread concerns that images of women’s bodies are arbitrarily moderated on the platform, and on depictions of post-mastectomy scarring, one of few explicitly allowed categories of content on Instagram, because mastectomies …
The Rule of Law on Instagram: An Evaluation of the Moderation of Images Depicting Women’s Bodies
This article uses innovative digital research methods to evaluate the moderation of images that depict women’s bodies on Instagram against the Western legal ideal of the rule of law. Specifically, this article focuses on the contested rule of law values of formal equality, certainty, reason giving, transparency, participation and accountability. Female forms are the focal point for our investigation due to widespread concerns that the platform is…
