In US news and current events today, the world’s refugee crisis is also an identity crisis.

Today, in the wake of global migration, the number of refugees, displaced and stateless people is estimated to be nearing hundreds of millions. At the heart of this epidemic is lack of identity: many of those forced to flee their homes from military upheavals and climate-induced cataclysms lack any form of identification.

In this op-ed, the Founder & CEO of the World Identity Network, Mariana Dahan, shares about her experience as a refugee from Moldova.

In this interview, Mariana Dahan covers why IDs are so important for immigrants and explains the pilot program that collects DNA information from migrants in state-run detention centers, and self-sovereign identity.
