Saide Mobayed Vega is a researcher interested in the intersections between human rights, violence against women, digital technologies, and data. In her PhD dissertation, Saide traces how feminicide is recounted by zooming in on global practices of data collection and local data activism with a focus on Mexico. At Cambridge, Saide is also a researcher and impact evaluator for The Whistle, a project that develops digital tools to connect witnesses of human rights violations to advocacy organisations. In 2017, she co-founded the Femi(ni)cide Watch Platform with the UN Studies Association.
