access to information + transparency

I worked defending the right to public information in Brazil for about four years. below are some of the research I contributed to during that time:

• Identidade Revelada – entraves na busca por informação pública no Brasil, ARTIGO 19. 2018.
• Os 5 anos da lei de acesso à informação – Uma análise de casos de transparência, ARTIGO 19. 2017
• Caminhos da Transparência – Lei de Acesso à Informação e Tribunais de Justiça, ARTIGO 19, 2016.
• Guia prático da lei de acesso à informação, ARTIGO 19, 2016.

• Monitoramento da Lei de Acesso à Informação Pública em 2014, ARTIGO 19, 2015.

I’ve also developed some work on the connection between access to public information and  women’s rights. here are some examples:

• I wrote this booklet on the relationship between the right to information and women’s rights in Brazil.
• I was one of the lead researchers on this report, which covers the lack of transparency around access to legal abortion in Brazil. this research culminated in the creation of the platform mapaabortolegal.org, which maps which hospitals in the country are actually providing this right.

you can also read my articles on open data and femicide and on open government and violence against women.

here is an interview where I talk about the importance of thinking about gender issues in the context of government transparency:
