Re-imagining Data Governance in the context of Digital Health

While digital technology has the potential to revolutionise healthcare, it can also exacerbate gender inequalities, deepen marginalisation, and enable human rights violations. In a world where our physical and digital identities are increasingly intertwined, bodily autonomy must include control over personal data – however, this remains elusive to women, girls and those identifying as other genders, especially in LMICs.

This 90-minute webinar, organised by the United Nations University International Institute for Global Health, will focus on data governance and sexual and reproductive health (SRH) in the context of a rapidly evolving digital health industry, and privacy and data protection legislation that is struggling to keep up.
