The Good Humanitarian

Humanitarians are always good, right?


Listen Later

In this second episode of 'The Good Humanitarian', we are joined by Dr Kaira Zoe Cañete, senior researcher at The Hague Humanitarian Studies Centre with a focus on disaster recovery, humanitarian ethics and feminist alternatives in humanitarian action. Together with the co-hosts, Kaira unpacks the principles that underpin humanitarian work, allowing us to go deeper into understanding how sometimes humanitarians can cause more harm than good.


In the podcast we also question: What makes a "good" humanitarian? We would like to hear from you. Leave a comment here or via social media.
