We discuss how we approached the task of visualizing sensitive, uncomfortable, yet important topics in terms of data-mapping and visual representation, including the appropriateness of computational vs. manual approaches to help foreground relevant themes. We also describe the design process behind the visualization and we discuss it from a feminist data visualization perspective.enSexual harassmentantropographic data visualizationqualitative datadata curationtailored visual modelsArticle, Research10.1109/VISAP51628.2020.00010
