When we speak of "humanitarians" we
mean much more than simply people fighting against hunger and
poverty. That has a lot to do with it but it is not the definition
of the word humanitarian.
The Oxford English dictionary defines
humanitarian as follows:
humanitarian
-
adjective
"concerned with or seeking to promote human
welfare"
To us at It'sOneHumanity, a
humanitarian is someone who cares about the human condition in
general. That, to us, implies everything from human rights to
sustainable development, poverty eradication to gender equality,
and climate justice to peace and security.
With The Humanitarian Social
Network, we aim to turn more people into so-called
humanitarians, make people all over the world realize that the term
is a much more far-reaching, encompassing concept than most people
would think. Doing so, we're bringing the world one step closer to
our vision of a world that knows no borders and collectively
confronts global issues as one humanity, for the better of humanity
as a whole.
That is why this social network
exists.
