Hong Kong Blockchain Week featured a slew of amazing presentations, but the most profound one was arguably from Mekong Club project manager Phoebe Ewen.
Sharing rather shocking statistics about modern-day slavery – including the fact that over 40 million men, women, and children are currently enslaved – Ewen delivered a very important message about how we can eradicate slavery and fight this horror through the use of disruptive technologies. One of her current initiatives, the eMin Project, aims to create a blockchain-based system to protect against worker exploitation and end modern slavery.
