Debate

 

 

A safe place to live, not a privilege for few but an essential right for everyone.
Time to rethink and reshape our operational strategy for people on the move?

 

The purpose of the session is to draw the attention on the complexity and new challenges for people on the move globally and to analyze and define the role of humanitarian actors and in particular the role of MSF.

We would like to underline the general context and the structural, deliberate violence people suffer from, across the world.
