The notion of strategic datafication refers to the way data can be carefully mobilized for social change, while keeping an awareness that data can also be (and have been) used for control and oppression.
The strategic production of data plays a fundamental role in the struggle against feminicide by enabling the visibility of contexts, humanizing statistics, and triggering prevention and reparation actions. In Latin America, the strategic use of data has been key to strengthening the argument for comprehensive laws and raising awareness about the importance of collecting information on feminicides.
It is important to highlight that to understand the complexities and underlying connections in gender-related violence and feminicides, it is crucial to consider context in data collection. This goes beyond simply counting cases, addressing the roots and processes that generate these violences.
