Identity Justice

Digital identity opens up the door to self-reliance and financial inclusion to disenfranchised populations.

Individuals lacking a recognized form of identification cannot access any social infrastructure such as education, employment and health care, participate in the modern economy, and are at increased risk of human trafficking.

The United Nations recognized identity as a necessary and fundamental human right in Sustainable Development Goal 16.9, which declares that we, as a world society, should aspire to “provide legal identity for all, including birth registration” by 2030.
