Innovation Challenge Closed For Submissions

In a world where repressive regimes constantly step up their coercive game and target human rights defenders, we need to find smart solutions that enable continued human rights work globally. When you enter the Innovation Challenge (IC), you get the chance of becoming that solution. You can receive funding to turn your idea into a prototype.

The Innovation Initiative, which innovates directly for human rights defenders all around the world, invited you to share your idea for IC 2019.
