SUMMARY:Webinar: Information Justice in Humanitarian Contexts: An Information Science Perspective on Access\, Power\, and Justice in Refugee Communication Systems
DESCRIPTION:This presentation is about the access to information shapes the everyday lives of Rohingya refugees in camps in Ukhiya\, Bangladesh\, showing that information directly affects access to essential services\, safety\, and trust. It highlights how refugees rely on informal networks\, community leaders\, and digital tools to communicate\, while governments and humanitarian organizations often act as gatekeepers\, controlling and filtering information. The study reveals a significant communication gap\, where refugees' lived experiences are frequently reshaped into formal policy language\, limiting their voice and participation. It also addresses challenges such as misinformation\, surveillance\, and political pressure\, which complicate communication and advocacy. Ultimately\, the presentation calls for more ethical\, inclusive\, and participatory information systems that empower refugees\, improve transparency\, and ensure their voices are central in decision-making processes.
