ISS – Humanitarian safety & security: Risks, entanglements and protection

Copyright: Jan van der Wolf

Hub member the International Institute of Social Studies (ISS) is hosting a Humanitarian Governance seminar in which Iida-Maria Tammi will delve into her recently released research into the risks posed by insecurity for humanitarian actors in conflict environments. Her work looks into the case study of emergency relief workers in the Syrian Civil War (2012-2020) and discusses how governance structures (‘entanglements’) can affect the safety of people working in a humanitarian context.

The Humanitarian Governance (Hum-Gov) research project explores the changing dynamics of humanitarian governance in DRC, Ethiopia and Colombia, with a focus on civil society actors and crisis-affected people. During our regular Hum-Gov Webinar series, guest speakers will contribute with different perspectives around humanitarian governance, accountability, advocacy and alternatives.
