Global Human Security

We, the Worldconnectors, underline the interdependence between development and global human security. Poverty, injustice, ignorance and environmental harm to our planet, constitute a threat to human security and its foundations. We believe the security of one is linked to the security of the other. Fragile human security threatens peace, stability and the dignity of all people and the planet.

Justine Masika Bihama awarded Human Rights Defenders Tulip

On the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on 10 December, Justine Masika Bihama was awarded the Human Rights Defenders Tulip. Worldconnector Louk de la Rive Box opened the ceremony and Worldconnector Awraham Soetendorp was a member of the jury. Justine Masika Bihama received the award for the work she does in Congo with victims of sexual violence.

Brutal violence against women is increasing due to the continuing conflicts in the country. Even Justine and her colleagues are regularly being confronted with threats and violence, because of their work to defend human rights. Justine's story made a great impression on everyone, including the Worldconnectors. Read the weblog by Louk de la Rive Box.
