Data Justice

Data justice refers to the ethical considerations and rights surrounding the collection, use, and impact of data, particularly regarding marginalized communities. It emphasizes fairness, accountability, and transparency in how data is gathered and analyzed, ensuring that individuals' privacy is respected and that the benefits of data use are equitably shared. Data justice advocates for policies that prevent discrimination and exploitation, and promote inclusivity, allowing everyone to have a say in how their data is handled and used. In essence, it's about making sure that data practices serve the public good rather than harm or exclude individuals and groups.
