Our pitch:
1. What is the problem that you are committed to solving?
The Global Justice Gap is an intractable problem we are trying to solve, exacerbated by the following factor:
- Human rights education is lacking in most parts of the world which is crucial for citizens in demanding their rights from those seeking to abuse them.
- Lack of complementary and up to date information on Implementation of human rights obligation by State parties with an average data age of eighteen months.
- Current patterns of human rights protection and violation involved treating states as centralized decision makers and examining states respect for human rights as a single country wide phenomenon which hides important and subtle variations in actors perpetrating abuses, motives for abuses, target of abuses and severity of abuse.
2. What is the solution you are proposing?
Lawgecko is a solution that consist of a smartphone app and a last-mile hardware panel that provides a sentimental education on human rights to people for free regardless of location and in keeping with the 1948 UNHRD, the platform has a help center interface that reports suspected violations, which is the complied and sent to a central server. Our supervised machine learning algorithm can the spot patterns and anomalies and automatically request more information from community organizations with boots on the ground. The information retrieved eventually forms a corpus of actionable data that would be accessible for a subscription fee by State actors and leading Human Rights organizations for deeper dives on root cause analysis, recommendations/implementations and funding decisions
3. How will your solution change the world?
Increased human-rights education is critical to ending poverty, combating discrimination and enhancing global democracy thereby creating opportunities for a sustainable global population.
