Ethics by architecture, accountability by design.
We believe that algorithms must be subject to sex worker accountability. The Durga platform operates under strict ethical rules, data encryption protocols, and annual external reviews.
Decentralized Privacy
Personally identifying data is never stored in centralized plaintext index databases. The system handles transient check hashes, protecting user metadata.
Sex Worker in-the-Loop AI Assistance
AI models assist by identifying early indicators of trafficking and exploitation, but sex worker coordinators validate every system alert before initiating coordinated interventions.
Advisory Oversight
System parameters are reviewed by our advisory board to check alignment with public data standards and prevent diagnostic drift.
Verified Integrations
NGO and clinical nodes are onboarded only after verification checks confirm standard data handling agreements.
Independent System Audits
Durga undergoes external verification audits to ensure data handling standards comply with public privacy frameworks. Review logs are published below.
