FREE online workshop to discuss responding to GBVF by mobilising data using Big Data and AI.
Gender-Based Violence and Femicide (GBVF) has been described by President Ramaphosa as “the second major pandemic we face in South Africa today”. Our country has one of the highest incidences of femicide and rape in the world. Wits University hosts several research and engagement projects that aim to provide knowledge and tools to counter this scourge in our society. Wits also plays a prominent role as a leading institution in the fields of data science and AI.
You are invited to attend a FREE online workshop to discuss responding to GBVF by mobilising data using Big Data and AI. We will discuss practical interventions that can be made using dashboards, Apps and other digital tools to leverage access to data.
