The folks at British Columbia’s Office of the Human Rights Commissioner have released a report on the importance of disaggregating data to advance human rights. Read the report: https://bchumanrights.ca/resources/publications/publication/datacollection/
More from them:
This report both answers and echoes the calls to collect disaggregated data to advance human rights. It emerges from decades of activism—particularly from communities of colour—calling for the data needed to develop policy that effectively addresses systemic inequalities. In other words, it calls—we call—for data that reflects the lived experiences of many, allowing their stories to be amplified and heard clearly by those in power.
