Engaging with persons with disabilities and older people to prevent sexual an...
1) Persons with disabilities and other vulnerable groups are often left out of disaster risk planning and response efforts. This can lead to a lack of access to critical services and higher risks of issues like gender-based violence during crises.
2) Including persons with disabilities as active participants throughout disaster risk reduction and management processes is important. This requires changes not just to infrastructure but also policies and mindsets.
3) Women and girls with disabilities face even greater challenges, such as higher rates of gender-based violence and lower literacy, underscoring the need for an intersectional approach that considers the impacts of both gender and disability.
IMA Ushindi Program to Address Sexual Violence
Debbie Lithander, Senior Program Officer, IMA World Health shared IMA's USAID-funded Ushindi program in the Democratic Republic of the Congo which provides support to victims of sexual violence and explores the root issues contributing to SGBV in the CCIH Capitol Hill briefing in July 2018.
Humanitarian advocacy
Humanitarian advocacy aims to influence policies and actions that better address the needs of vulnerable populations. It encompasses efforts made before, during, and after crises to protect rights and access to assistance. Advocacy goals include ensuring respect for humanitarian principles, protecting affected communities, and supporting an effective humanitarian system. Advocacy approaches can be direct with policymakers or indirect by building public support. Strategies consider objectives, target audiences, appropriate messages and tactics, and monitoring frameworks. Challenges to advocacy include balancing operational risks with speaking out, and representing population needs amid crowded policy environments.
The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.pptx
The Red Cross was founded in 1863 in Switzerland by Jean Henry Dunant after he witnessed the aftermath of the Battle of Solferino. He established relief services and wrote a book proposing a neutral organization to aid wounded soldiers, which led to the establishment of the Red Cross. The organization aims to provide humanitarian aid during war and conflict. It is made up of the International Committee of the Red Cross, International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, and National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.

Explain MSF yourself
- 1. MSF? was founded to contribute to the protection of life and the alleviation of suffering out of respect for human dignity Medical Humanitarian aid organisation which provides assistance to populations in distress, to victims of natural or man-made disasters and to victims of armed conflict, irrespective of race, religion, creed or political convictions brings care to people in precarious situations and works towards helping them regain control over their future MSF is an organisation based on volunteerism which is a determining factor in maintaining a spirit of resistance against compromise, routine and institutionalisation
- 2. MSF MAIN PRINCIPLES • Neutrality – MSF does not take sides in armed conflicts. However, in extreme cases where volunteers are witness to mass violations of Human Rights, MSF may resort to denunciation as a last available means in helping the populations it assists • Impartiality – Non-discrimination in regard to politics, race, religion, sex or any other similar criteria. – Proportionality of assistance as it relates to the degree of needs - those in the most serious and immediate danger will receive priority • Independence – independence of spirit which is a condition for independent analysis and action, namely the freedom of choice in its operations, and the duration and means in carrying them out – Independence of finance. MSF endeavours to ensure a maximum of private resources, to diversify its institutional donors, and, sometimes, to refuse financing that may affect its independence
- 3. MEDICAL ACTION FIRST The actions of MSF are first and foremost medical. This primarily consists of providing curative and preventive care to people in danger, wherever they may be. In cases where this is not enough to ensure the survival of a population - as in some extreme emergencies - other means may be developed, including the provision of water, sanitation, food, shelter, etc.This action is mainly carried out in crisis periods when a system is suddenly destabilised and the very survival of the population is threatened.
- 4. TEMOIGNAGE (WITNESSING) Témoignage is done with the intention of improving the situation for populations in danger. It is expressed through: • the presence of volunteers with people in danger as they provide medical care which implies being near and listening • a duty to raise public awareness about these people • the possibility to openly criticise or denounce breaches of international conventions. This is a last resort used when MSF volunteers witness mass violations of human rights, including forced displacement of populations, refoulement or forced return of refugees, genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. In exceptional cases, it may be in the best interests of the victims for MSF volunteers to provide assistance without speaking out publicly or to denounce without providing assistance, for example when humanitarian aid is “manipulated”.
- 5. ASSOCIATION • MSF is made up of 19 national sections, with overall coherence ensured by an International Council • The commitment of each volunteer to the MSF movement goes beyond completing a mission; it also assumes an active participation in the associative life of the organisation and an adherence to the Charter and Principles of MSF • equal voice for each member • The members constitute the General Assemblies of each section, and they elect a Board of Directors • The Board of Directors names the executive team. The Board guarantees respect for the MSF Principles, ensures that decisions taken at the General Assembly are executed, and controls the management of the organisation
