In our digital era, safeguarding personal data is a challenge for everyone, but for refugees, it’s a matter of survival. Aid organizations and governments often hold sensitive information, from birthdates to fingerprints, to provide critical assistance. However, mismanagement of these systems can lead to severe consequences, such as discrimination or exploitation. Refugees face unique vulnerabilities as they cross borders, navigating diverse legal frameworks with inconsistent protections. To ensure their safety and dignity, privacy protections must evolve. Emerging technologies like blockchain and unified global standards offer promising solutions, empowering refugees to control their data and ensuring their privacy across borders.
