Why displaced people need a digital identitiy
I sat down to talk to Nadia Kadhim, co-founder of Naq about digital identity and healthcare for displaced people.
Nadia’s father was a refugee, and we hear about her journey into human rights law and eventually into data security and compliance.
We cover:
- That digital identity for displaced people is messed up.
- How this creates very real barriers to care (with examples)
- How healthcare systems aren’t set up for real access or meaningful care for refugees
- Can we even do anything about this when political agenda in many places cares less and less about this?
- Why, even so, we should wake up - the likelihood of us being displaced due to conflict or climate change is going up. How would we want to be cared for?
- This is an everybody problem, which is part of why it’s so hard to solve.
If you’re into policy, data security, health and digital for displaced people, or building tools that could be being used by refugees, you’ll gain a lot from spending less than an hour on this topic.
If you care about this topic you should also listen to the episode with Aral Surmeli. Inspiring in equal measure.
