The Price of Anything - A public awareness campaign supporting aid workers and human rights defenders
The Price of Anything is a not-for-profit public awareness and advocacy campaign. Development funding has been gratefully received by the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs, the International NGO Safety & Security Association (INSSA), and RedR UK. Many others have pledged their support and provided assistance.
Please help us by donating via the SMI website. We need your support to ensure this campaign is a success.
Video messages will be periodically uploade to Humanitarian Policy's YouTube channel. These videos will include practitioner perspectives regarding safety and security challenges. Please take a moment to view these messages and leave your comments on the channel.
This project aims to produce a donor-funded documentary film to help stimulate debate and motive a collective effort in response to insecurity. To date we have recorded over 20 hours of interviews with aid workers, researchers and academics, who share their expertise and opinions on safety and security in the aid sector.
The project proudly supports World Humanitarian Day.
Since January 2009, an estimated 745 aid workers were victims of recorded safety or security incidents. The majority of these victims were employees of non-governmental organisations (NGOs). Many of these incidents are politically motivated.
International legal frameworks and humanitarian principles no longer offer realistic protection to the individuals and organizations that respond to populations in need.
Donate Here: Donations may be received at the Security Management Initiative website.
The video dramatization and many of the recorded interviews have been produced in cooperation with C. Frye & S. Scott, of Awareness Media LLC. Many individuals and organizations are lending their support. Please visit their sites to find out how they are contributing to aid worker safety and security.
