This briefing explores how migration intersects with technology, inequality, and human rights. It outlines how uses of new technology are central to a trend of violations of human rights at borders globally, and shows how states and non-state actors use various forms of technology in migration management and asylum systems. The second of a series of four briefings on technology and inequality, this briefing demonstrates the growing interrelation between digital rights and the rights of migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers, which must be considered within a broader trend of technology-facilitated criminalization of marginalized peoples’ lives.
