The problem

Election-period online harms can be difficult to categorise, especially when gendered abuse is coded, multilingual, or platform-specific.

What I built

  • Scraping workflows for harmful-content signals.
  • A GBV taxonomy for election-period research.
  • Evidence structures for platform accountability work.

My role

Research associate working across scraper development, taxonomy consolidation, and policy evidence.
