About the research

"Muy exclusivo: las fotos del horror" is written on the cover of this Argentine newspaper. This headline refers to the photographs of the dead body of a young woman that the journalists shamelessly published. "Fortunately, there are also writers in Latin America who describe gender violence in a more ethical way", says Eva Van Hoey (UGent). In her PhD she investigates how gender violence is represented in the literary genre of the chronicle.

Ever since she has been researching how Latin American literature discusses violence against women in the continent. In her research project (UGent), she studies how gender violence is represented in the literary genre of the chronicle.

Empowering individuals by making personal data breaches transparent
A personal data breach is not to be taken lightly: it can lead to depression, divorce, and even death. Seems far-fetched? Not really, as the data breach of a Canadian adultery website showed in 2015.
