We partnered with @TheSyriaCmpgn to interview 12 frontline activists from three different conflicts and with @RIWIdata to survey over 4,000 people in the UK, Germany, and France. The goal? To understand how activists and engaged social media users are self censoring.#data4change
🧵New report out today reveals how online abuse & disinformation are forcing both activists and ordinary users to self-censor. Join us in writing to the @eucommission to urge them to do more to protect our freedom of expression ✊🏽 Sign and share widely: https://t.co/QGvnK0c6Oo

Ready to rethink “professional standards” in #CitizenData? Our article explores who benefits when these standards try to define what "valid data" is—and whether they help or hinder community voices. It’s a big question, what are your thoughts? https://t.co/EbHD5mAfkw #DataEquity
This week our friends at @RefugeesSeat became the first refugee-led org to deliver a statement at ExCom (UNHCR’s key governing body)✊🏾 About time that the UNHCR let those with lived experience of displacement speak! Great delivery by the incredibly talented @ishimwemarie432 🙌🏾
R-SEAT is honored to be the first refugee-led organization (RLO) to draft & deliver the NGO Collective Statement at the UNHCR #ExCom in Geneva.
Our East Africa Regional Lead, Ishimwe Jean Marie, delivered the statement at the 75th session of the ExCom. The statement calls for an urgent and effective action to protect & save lives and promote equal dignity, protection, and peace for all. Key recommendations are:
1️. Prioritize saving lives and ensure access to protection and essential services, such as education and healthcare;
2️. All stakeholders must proactively address the public backlash against forcibly displaced and stateless persons, both in public discourse and political rhetoric;
3. Recognize the importance of meaningful refugee participation as a tool to enhance refugee responses at all levels.

Only 17% of the urban refugees we surveyed had been able to access higher education in Kenya @EduMinKenya. 38% had wanted to access it, but had not been able to due to the high costs. Get the new data & our policy recommendations https://t.co/OfNNuip7uh supported by @data4change.

Together with the amazing team at @LifelineEmpower we have collected and visualised intimate partner violence #IPV#data in a whole new way, check out the research at: https://t.co/NFK8BfcsT7 #EndIPV
NEITHER WHO or the Uganda Bureau of Statistics collect data on the prevalence of IPV among the LGBTQ+ community.
In fact, when it comes to IPV and LGBTQ+ relationships, there is a big data gap both globally & here in Uganda. Our Research https://t.co/m9ahiDgqay comes in handy.
