  This paper introduces a relational perspective on ethics within the context
of Feminist Digital Civics and community-led design. Ethics work in HCI has
primarily focused on prescriptive machine ethics and bioethics principles
rather than people. In response, we advocate for a community-led, processual
approach to ethics, acknowledging power dynamics and local contexts. We thus
propose a multidimensional adaptive model for ethics in HCI design, integrating
an intersectional feminist ethical lens. This framework embraces feminist
epistemologies, methods, and methodologies, fostering a reflexive practice. By
weaving together situated knowledges, standpoint theory, intersectionality,
participatory methods, and care ethics, our approach offers a holistic
foundation for ethics in HCI, aiming to advance community-led practices and
enrich the discourse surrounding ethics within this field.
