DataGénero

What DataGénero does

DataGénero is an Argentine non-profit civil association (Asociación Civil) headquartered in Buenos Aires that operates as a feminist data observatory for Latin America, applying a transfeminist and intersectional lens to data and artificial intelligence systems. Its core technological product is AymurAI, an open-source AI tool that uses natural language processing to process, anonymize, and structure judicial documents — particularly those related to gender-based violence cases — for courts in Argentina, Chile, and Costa Rica. AymurAI is designed for local-server installation to preserve judicial data sovereignty and embeds gender-perspective and human-rights safeguards into its architecture. Beyond AymurAI, DataGénero runs a portfolio of research initiatives including Silencios Digitales (a 1,418-respondent national survey on digital gender-based violence), Candidatas (monitoring of women's and trans/travestite political participation in Argentine elections, co-led with Ojo Paritario), Más allá del código de barras (automation and AI in South American retail), Caminos hacia la democracia (violence against women in politics, with UN Women Argentina), Cartografía de la diversidad (LGBTQ+ living conditions in Mar del Plata), and Ya es tiempo de mujeres sindicalistas (mapping women's union leadership across CGT, CTA-T, and CTA-A).

The organization's revenue is generated primarily through project-based grants and cooperation agreements with international development organizations and multilaterals — including UN Women (ONU Mujeres), Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES), the Canadian International Development Research Centre (IDRC), the Digital Democracy Initiative, data.org, and UNI Américas — supplemented by paid online and in-person training courses priced at approximately US$100 per participant, with full scholarships offered alongside. Go-to-market is institutional rather than commercial: AymurAI is deployed via direct engagement with judicial bodies and formal cooperation agreements (e.g., Consejo de la Magistratura de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, Corte de Justicia de Catamarca, Poder Judicial de Buenos Aires Province), while training programs are delivered online via Zoom and through academic partnerships with universities including UBA, UNMdP, UNSAM, UDELAR, and Universidad Favaloro. Customer segments span judicial and legal institutions, legislative bodies, multilateral organizations, academic institutions, and civil society. The organization is led by Executive Director Ivana Feldfeber and General Director Mailén García, with a small core team of seven named members and reported headcount of 11–50.

• ILDA (Iniciativa Latinoamericana por los Datos Abiertos): ILDA is a regional platform promoting open data governance and data-driven public policy across Latin America. It overlaps with DataGénero on open-data advocacy, capacity building, and producing comparable datasets on transparency and rights, making it a strong thematic peer in the regional data-governance space.
