Our project addresses how migration systems make migrant women’s work invisible, exclude them from labor protections, and break access to services and agency, turning mobility into vulnerability.
Our solution is a two-part system: UniPass and UniSafe.
UniPass is a physical and social tool that translates rights into actionable guidance, preserves entitlement continuity, and embeds trusted human support through verified local anchors such as NGOs, clinics, legal aid desks, and collectives. It helps women understand what to do, who to contact, and how to act safely in moments of risk.
UniSafe is a complementary digital layer that securely stores a minimal, verified set of essential records such as identity proofs, work history, training certificates, and entitlement references. These records are validated only through authorized partners and surfaced selectively, only when needed. UniSafe ensures that loss of documents or movement across contexts does not erase proof, while avoiding surveillance, constant connectivity, or centralized control.
Together, the system enables rights continuity across borders, cities, and jobs without shifting responsibility onto women or exposing them to new risks.
