At @rightscon @laurambing and @cpjvanveen are moderating a panel on #DigitalID litigation, discussing the dangers of exclusion with #NIIMS in #Kenya, #Aadhaar in #India and #NIDS in #Jamaica

Zahra from @NubianRights explains how the Nubian community in Kenya struggles with access to documentation and how they worked to #empower community members for mobilization around the case on #HudumaNamba in Kenya

'The #HudumaNamba case and attending the court sessions has really given the Nubian community an opportunity to understand the issues around rights violations they are facing and speak up about this' - Yassah, @NubianRights speaking on #digitalID at #RightsCon

@iam_anandv who gave expert evidence for the #Aadhaar case and the #NIIMS cases in India and Kenya talks about "exclusion by design" in #digitalID systems at #RightsCon2020 panel hosted by @laurambing from @OSFJustice and @cpjvanveen from @humanrightsnyu

" #digitalID systems are like a hurdle race - if you are lucky you get it, if not you are locked out. This is not an inclusive program; it is exclusion by design" - @iam_anandv at @rightscon 2020

@cpjvanveen relays questions from the panel on #DigitalID and exclusion to the panelists, including on the next case on #DigitalID, what lessons were learned from prior cases, and why agencies such as the @WorldBank are pushing for digital ID systems despite known probelms

Rodje Malcom from @JAForJustice speaks to how the #development narrative on #digitalID has been crafted so states can access financial support

"For the longest time we have been trying to find out who is really behind funding #HudumaNamba but there is little clear information" - Yassah, @NubianRights

@gautambhatia88 speaks at #RightsCon2020 panel on #DigitalID litigation: "if you can make a convincing argument that there is an alternative system that is less intrusive, then you have a better chance than when you just show that the proposed system falls short"

There must be legislative and regulatory frameworks preventing exclusion and citizens, including the most marginalized groups, must be included in the creation of any #DigitalID system - @yussufugas of @Haki_na_Sheria and Zahra of @NubianRights at #RightsCon2020
