Independent public-interest data observatory
We connect five international datasets without hiding their different years, gaps or limits. The dashboard is a starting point for inquiry; our evidence profiles and original analysis explain what each signal can—and cannot—show.
Humain Alert · Key indicators
Explore freedom of expression, child labour and carbon emissions. Each measure tells a different part of the story.
Read each value with its source and reference year. These indicators are presented separately, without an overall score.

What the needles represent
Each needle translates one measurable pressure into a shared visual language. These indicators do not judge people or cultures; they help identify pressures on freedom, safety and care. The worldwide child-labour percentage is shown separately with its source.

Method / transparency
Each indicator is presented separately. There is no overall score or ranking. The gauges show specific pressures, not comprehensive measures of freedom, personal safety or psychological wellbeing.
When a gauge is withheld. A known reference year must be no more than five calendar years old; a range uses its oldest year. Country-group observations must cover at least 80% of the defined countries. National observations and explicitly labelled official aggregates can also qualify. Unknown coverage or years do not qualify. These are editorial safeguards, not scientific guarantees. Excluded values remain in the raw-data table.
Suicide and homicide gauges use min(rate ÷ 30 × 100, 100). Expression restrictions use (1 − V-Dem index) × 100. A normalized gauge value is not a percentage of people affected. Child labour worldwide remains the ILO–UNICEF 2024 estimate for ages 5–17; other child-employment observations are identified separately in the raw table. Carbon remains in tonnes per person.
Stable, Fragile, Concerning, Critical and Emergency are editorial bands at 10, 25, 40 and 60 on the gauge scale. They are not official ratings or a diagnosis. Read the complete methodology and coverage rules before interpreting a comparison.

Privacy & advertising policy
Humain Alert is designed to collect as little personal information as practical. The following policy describes the current site, optional audience analytics and advertising features that activate only after approval and the required consent controls are in place.
The selected region, a timestamp and a 24-hour copy of public indicator data are stored in your browser. They are used to make the dashboard faster and are not used to identify you.
Netlify processes contact, report-request and community-submission details so Humain Alert can respond and moderate contributions. Community ideas are never published automatically. No payment service is connected to the website.
Actions and challenge progress selected in “What can one person do?” are stored only in your browser. They are not sent to Humain Alert and can be reset from the section.
With your consent, Google Analytics measures visits, pages viewed, traffic sources and generic participation clicks. Event details exclude action IDs and form contents. Analytics storage is denied by default, and you can change your choice at any time through “Privacy choices”.
The optional poll is linked from the community page and opens on StrawPoll after a click. StrawPoll then processes connection, browser-session and vote data under its own privacy terms. Humain Alert receives only aggregate public results.
After activation, Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver and measure ads. Learn how Google uses advertising data in its advertising policy.
The Humain Alert privacy control covers Analytics. Advertising consent is separate from this Analytics control. A Google-certified consent platform must be configured where required; this website does not claim that the account configuration has been verified.
