Our project

The Discrimination Checker is a project made to reduce discrimination against people in rural areas and promote the values of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): No Poverty (SDG 1), Quality Education (SDG 4), Gender Equality (SDG 5), and Reduced Inequalities (SDG 10). This project combines technology and education to create a tangible solution that raises awareness about discrimination and encourages positive change.

Our inspiration

Discrimination is a pervasive issue in our society, affecting individuals in various aspects of their lives such as education, employment, gender, religion, and socio-economic background. This discrimination often leads to inequalities, contributing to poverty and hindering the progress of individuals and communities.
