As more aspects of our lives are translated into data, the consequences are becoming harder to ignore.
Speaking at an event co-hosted by The Fuller Project and MSI Reproductive Choices, Rajat Khosla, Executive Director at the Partnership for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health, highlighted how the “datification” of human bodies — through search histories, apps, and wearable devices — is increasingly used both to deliver services and to exercise power over individuals.
Khosla argued that advocates working on health, gender, and human rights cannot treat data governance as a separate issue. Without partnerships between civil society, technology experts, and those working on regulation, efforts to create meaningful impact risk being undermined.
His message was clear: collaboration across disciplines is no longer optional if rights-based work is to keep pace with digital systems.
