Contributions to the Promotion of Human Rights in Vulnerable Contexts
Keywords:
data science, development, vulnerable contexts, economic, social and cultural rights, humanistic perspectiveAbstract
Nowadays data science is emerging as one of the most powerful tools for understanding and, consequently, transforming social reality. The growing relevance of this discipline invites us to reflect on its multiple applications, within a debate that raises questions about the need to go beyond uses driven only by technical or economic objectives. This paper focuses on a humanistic approach to data science, particularly on its potential to contribute to the respect and promotion of economic, social and cultural rights (ESCR) in vulnerable contexts. These rights cover a set of key issues related to access to education and training, health services, adequate nutrition, and dignified work, among other aspects. In this context we argue that an ethical use of data science tools can provide valuable resources to strengthen the protection of essential human rights in territories that lack adequate levels of development.
