Humanitarian crises are often understood through the lens of immediate need: more aid, more access and more funding.

But ODI Global’s new report Oppression, Liberation and Humanitarianism in Palestine, Myanmar and Sudan argues that we must also understand the systems of power that produce and sustain suffering.

In this episode of Think Change, guests Dustin Barter, Hala Al Karib and Athena Rayburn explore what humanitarian action can learn from movements of solidarity and resistance and what it would mean to build a system that supports not only survival, but dignity, justice and liberation.

Guests

  • Sara Pantuliano (host), Chief Executive, ODI Global
  • Dustin Barter, Senior Research Fellow ODI Global
  • Hala Al Karib, Regional Director of the Strategic Initiative for Women in the Horn of Africa (SIHA).
  • Athena Rayburn, Executive Director, Association of International Development Agencies (AIDA)
