Empowering factory workers with solutions to keep the organizations they work for accountable has proved difficult in the past. Workers often feel unsafe reporting abuses and many are unaware of the rights they do have. But what if empowering individuals is easier and more accessible than has been previously thought?
Thanks to new technology-based solutions, each person supplied with a smartphone could have the answer to this problem right in their hands or pockets. Smartphones have been shown to be a useful tool not just for factory workers, but for many other groups of people who are vulnerable to human rights abuses, especially domestic abuse victims and refugees. As a result, companies looking to support human rights can adapt these technologies to empower their workers.

In fact, technology-based solutions to human rights violations were first used by other groups of people before their implementation in corporate settings.
