An In Depth Discussion: What happens when courts replace judges with computer algorithms? We are told these systems are “objective” and “fair”  but the evidence tells a different story. From bail decisions to sentencing, algorithms are making life-changing choices about women based on biased data and male-centered assumptions. A woman seeking justice after assault may find her credibility automatically questioned. A mother may be flagged as “high risk” simply because of where she lives or her employment history. Meanwhile, these same systems treat men’s violence as more predictable and less dangerous.

This is not science fiction,  it is happening right now in courts worldwide. Join us to uncover how technology is creating new barriers to justice for women and girls, and what policy solutions can effectively address it.
