As part of its Supporting Safer Digital Spaces project, the Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI) is hosting an interactive workshop at RightsCon 2025 in Taipei on February 26, 2025, at 4:30 p.m. (UTC +8).

“Figures for Social Change: How to Use Quantitative Survey Data in Intersectional Advocacy on Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence (TFGBV)” is for those who want to use quantitative data in their advocacy on TFGBV and unpack its politics. Targeted at activists, advocates and qualitative researchers, this session will provide practical experience on using and effectively integrating quantitative data in advocacy on TFGBV.

Guided by a feminist data scientist and a team of experts from the Global South, participants will engage directly with the data, working in groups to explore segments of the data set to examine how intersectional social identities, such as gender, sexuality, race and age, affect individuals’ experiences of TFGBV. Insights from participants will also be valuable for CIGI in identifying the best ways to present the data as a publicly accessible resource, thereby maximizing its value for researchers incorporating the data into their work on TFGBV.
