Your thoughts...
Data systems at first glance are viewed as objective platforms that organize information in a systematic manner. It is this very flawed perception that the article by Qadri, 2021 addresses, underscoring how these systems can be biased through social and cultural values. Using Pakistan’s ID system as an example, the author highlighted how the database makes assumptions about the martial status of those residing in the country. The national ID system considers that every individual should have two married parents which is a limited and narrow view of family. What exacerbates this systematic bias is that individuals who do not fit within this rigid definition are hurdled with barriers that exclude them. This is a prime instance of how databases, while outwardly seen as positive and beneficial tools for data organization, can promulgate societal norms.
In day-to-day life, these types of limitations in multiple systems are present. It was only amid my undergraduate studies, where educational platforms (ACORN) began recognizing gender beyond the conventional binary options, and critically, provided categories of “wish not to disclose” as a reflection of respect for one’s privacy and autonomy to share information. Indeed, I acknowledge that these systems simplify data organization, however, in parallel, I also recognize that these tools of organization can easily overlook the complexities that compose human experiences, views and perspectives. The main question arising from these paucities is, how can these embedded values contribute to boarder inequalities? To answer this, when databases are modeled to reflect dominant social norms, then these databases or record management systems become a channel through which marginalized populations are inaccurately recorded, ultimately having large scale consequences such as access to services, policy decisions and allocation of resources.
Overall, considering the article, it is critical to deliberately and consciously consider how data systems can be designed to foster inclusivity, diversity and equity. In the today times, where data plays a critical role in major decisions, we must carefully evaluate how and which societal norms are defining these systems and whether they may be perpetuating marginalization further.
