Empowering Rural Communities Through Innovation – Human Rights Hack 2025
Event Details:
Date: 21-23 March 2025
Location: Eastern Cape Province, South Africa
Introduction
South Africa observes Human Rights Day on 21 March 2025, honoring the fight for justice, equality, and freedom. However, rural areas in the Eastern Cape still face significant human rights challenges. Poverty, poor infrastructure, and limited access to education, health care, and essential services disproportionately impact vulnerable groups like women, children, and persons with disabilities.
The 2025 Human Rights Hackathon aims to bridge the gap between human rights and technology by empowering learners with skills in fibre optics and AI & Machine Learning to develop solutions for these challenges.
Hackathon Overview
Objective:
Leverage beginner-level skills in fibre optics and AI to create practical, scalable solutions addressing human rights issues in rural Eastern Cape communities.
Themes:
Access to Education and Infrastructure
Health Care and Emergency Services
Water, Sanitation, and Basic Services
Equality and Inclusion for Vulnerable Groups
Advocacy and Human Rights Awareness
Participants:
Two learner groups with expertise in:
Fibre Optics Training: Specializing in communication infrastructure.
AI & Machine Learning: Focused on data-driven problem-solving.
Cortex Hub Student Club Members
Event Structure:
Duration: 3 Days
Day 1: Workshops and Orientation
Days 2-3: Hackathon and Presentations
Team Composition: 4-6 members from both technical fields.
