Project Overview
We propose building a decentralized Web3 platform on the Polygon blockchain, leveraging smart contracts, tokens, and DAO mechanisms for:
global monitoring of human rights violations;
coordination of mutual aid;
transparent funding and voting on initiatives;
incentivizing activists through tokenized participation.
The platform will be open, autonomous, and global, governed by the principle of “one person — one vote”.
The Problem
Thousands of human rights violations are recorded daily worldwide — driven by hatred, ignorance, or political/economic interests. Existing mechanisms (UN, NGOs, courts) are often:
slow;
government-dependent;
resource-constrained;
unable to address local or anonymous cases.
There is no global, decentralized, trustless platform that enables:
rapid response;
tamper-proof evidence collection;
coordinated assistance;
community-driven decision-making.
The Solution
“Human Rights Policy DAO” — a decentralized space for activists, victims, and allies.
Core Features:
Communication — secure chats, forums, region- or topic-based channels.
Monitoring — upload of photos, videos, and documents.
Anonymous Complaints.
Mutual Aid:
legal, psychological, and financial support;
locating safe shelter, food, and water;
physical protection (via nearby participants).
Initiative Funding — transparent grants and community voting.
Risk Alerts — interactive risk map and verified “violator watchlist”.
Tokenomics (on Polygon)
Token: $RIGHTS (ERC-20).
Daily distribution to verified participants — equivalent to a basic living stipend in tokens.
Voting: 1 person = 1 vote (sybil-resistant verification without revealing personal data).
Minimum token threshold for participation in governance.
I like your idea, and you expressed the problem very well. Let me know if you need help integrating BrightID as a way to verify human uniqueness without revealing personal information, or Aura as a decentralized system of reviewers to validate cases of human rights abuses.
Thank you for your interest! The project welcomes support from lawyers, developers (Web3, frontend, backend), marketers, sponsors, designers, activists, and other contributors.

I think is good idea but now the question how to go with the work. Because the major issue is the funding, now if it comes to funding of activities if the people have to come up with centralilize governance
This is an inspiring and much-needed initiative. From a dev perspective, I see strong potential — Polygon is perfect for low-cost governance, and integrating PoH or Soulbound tokens could solve identity issues. I’d love to contribute on smart contract and full-stack (React/Next.js + Solidity) development. Using IPFS for data storage and a simple DAO structure would make this project powerful and transparent.
Really interesting idea. Decentralizing reporting, support, and funding could actually solve a lot of the issues traditional systems struggle with.
The challenge around proving someone is a real human without exposing their identity is a big one, and I’m curious to see how you plan to approach it.
At Petition.io, we’re also building transparent, community-driven tools for humanitarian support, so it’s inspiring to see others exploring similar problems from a different angle.
