We live in an era marked by violence. The production and dissemination of knowledge is crucial to addressing these violations, foster their understanding, and promote justice, truth, and reparation. However, this task faces complex challenges: data fragmentation, lack of standardization, legal limitations, and the incessant repetition of victims' testimonies. Overcoming these gaps is essential to foster a democratic society, prevent recurrence, and strengthen the rule of law.
The Millennium Nucleus DATA JUSTA is a collaborative scientific initiative in the social sciences that, through critical theory and ethnographic methods, analyzes the knowledge produced by the State regarding human rights violations and severe abuses, as well as the responses provided to victims. The project seeks to improve human rights data systems and policies, as well as victim assistance and reparation, in alignment with international standards.
The aim of DATA JUSTA is to promote accountability, protection and progressive human rights advancement for peace, justice, sustainable governance, and comprehensive social development.
The project is organized into three research lines: 1. Data production and use, 2. Victim management, assistance and reparation, and 3. Control, Surveillance, and State Compliance with National and International Commitments Regarding Victims. It focuses on three types of violations: attempted femicides, human trafficking, and institutional violence in a political context (2019–2020 social uprising).
DATA JUSTA will be developed between 2024 and 2027 with funding from the National Agency for Research and Development (ANID).
