0
3K

The text discusses the use of digital technologies in controlling and restricting the movement of asylum seekers, focusing on the CBP One app as an example. It also explores the strengths and weaknesses of digital tools in addressing gender-based violence in Ukraine and offers recommendations for improvement. Additionally, it delves into the potential impact investing in digital work projects can have on refugees and displaced populations, and the ethical use of algorithms in refugee resettlement. The concept of decolonisation in the humanitarian sector, particularly in relation to biometric technologies, is also discussed.

Key Insights

  • The CBP One app exemplifies how digital technologies can be used to control and restrict the movement of asylum seekers, hindering their access to protection.
  • Digital tools in Ukraine addressing gender-based violence have strengths in providing information and support but also face challenges such as limited access and technical literacy.
  • Impact investing in digital work projects can create pathways to dignified livelihoods for refugees and displaced individuals by focusing on skills development, market linkages, and access to capital.
  • The ethical use of algorithms in refugee resettlement can improve outcomes and support successful integration by considering refugees’ preferences and ensuring transparency.
  • Decolonising the humanitarian sector involves critically examining the role of technology, particularly biometric technologies, in perpetuating colonial legacies and power dynamics.
