This chapter explores how DcF operates as a community of practice that challenges dominant knowledge systems, confronts harmful media narratives, and proposes alternative, care-based approaches to security through feminist data infrastructures. The sections that follow examine how these practices unfold in greater depth: from DcF’s foundational approach to community building and collective care, to its development of feminist technological tools and its efforts to subvert dominant narratives through data practices. Each section demonstrates how DcF directly engages with and resists normative frameworks, challenges stigmatizing representations, redefines security through feminist lenses, and places gender at the center of data justice. DcF offers a compelling example of how communities of practice can challenge dominant knowledge systems, counter harmful media narratives, and advance alternative, care-centered approaches to security through feminist data infrastructures.
