Jubha can list any data pointer with a data table approach + drop down with Code values. See Mifos user manual.
An ethical approach might be to reject parameters like Gender as a credit access pointer in an open source globally compliant system.
World is changing.
Hope u can consider this blog!
If you r still curious about listing Gender as a data pointer, then perhaps ensure that your organisation has a grievance redressal structure and a DPO mandate, such that this listed data pointer is warranted to not be processed for credit assessment, & is only being collected to establish unique ID in the system. Now a tenant cannot always ensure this, cause of public policy gaps in different jurisdictions.
Please read this working paper too.
In absence of a strong DPO, we should try to contain the interpersonal corporeal and sentient bias at a global standard of awareness with epistemic justice to this open source product, nothing like it.
For this, we should ensure that science based standards on data collection by setting up a Global Configurations standard for Gender.
Thanks for your consideration. Have a great week ahead!
