Amidst all the galore at the Expo 2020 Dubai, a humanitarian conference is also going to be a part of the event.

Taking to the World Humanitarian Day, which is commemorated every year on August 19, the International Humanitarian Summit was launched in the UAE that is going to take place on March 30, 2022, as a part of the Expo 2020.

The summit is aimed at solving ongoing issues around the world, including COVID-19 challenges and the persisting issues of racism, gender inequality, intolerance, and persecution.

The event will bring together the international community of intellectuals, governmental institutions, human rights and philanthropic institutions, religious institutions, artists, media professionals, cultural associations, and the private sector. The coming together of the sectors will proliferate on the current concerns that need to be addressed.

In today’s time, crises are more complex and vast, that need humanitarian aid, and assisting has become much more difficult. The International Humanitarian Summit will voice out and discuss such issues during the session in March next year. The summit will coordinate, and put efforts toward assistance overseas responding to humanitarian crises, natural disasters, and manmade disasters.

The UAE has always been one of those countries that have mastered providing services and humanitarian aid and helping those in need around the world.

Earlier Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al-Maktoum, vice president, prime minister, and ruler of Dubai, had announced that the UAE would offer golden visas to charity and humanitarian aid workers in recognition of their efforts and sacrifices.

Apart from the discussion on the various crises, topics like gender equality and women’s empowerment will also be explored at the International Humanitarian Summit to enable private organisations and governments to promote an equal world. There will be sessions on the same that will focus on creating an inclusive environment for women and people of determination within society.
