WHAT IS HUMANITARIANISM?
Humanitarianism is a large field of study that makes simply narrowing down a definition of what it is a difficult concept. I have found that humanitarianism is actions taken with the desire to provide help to others in need. By providing aid, care, supplies, knowledge, and guidance, humanitarianism aims to improve the lives of others on the basis that all people deserve their basic human rights.
Some humanitarian issues that the world has faced in the past and is currently facing today are:
1. Disease
2. Genocide
3. Hunger and Famine
4. Child Soldiers
5. Refugees/IDPs
6. Women’s Rights
7. Poverty
8. Natural Hazards
