Global Unit for Human Security
At the Global Unit for Human Security in Vienna, we are dedicated to promoting human-centric and comprehensive approaches to security, emphasizing the protection and well-being of individuals and communities alongside traditional state-centric models. By integrating concepts such as feminist foreign policy and climate security, the Unit contributes to shaping a ‘green’ and justice-oriented security paradigm. Through pluralistic and inclusive debates on security, we aim to address the root causes of conflicts and the lived experiences of insecurity, shifting human security from a theoretical concept to an actionable policy framework. With our expertise and strategic positioning, the Global Unit for Human Security continues to connect and amplify voices from the Global South, contributing significantly to the Heinrich Böll Foundation’s mission of promoting human rights, democracy, and sustainable development worldwide.
I am under the impression that we are being talked into believing that the age of humanitarianism is over, the age of compassion is over. Hard hearts break more easily than compassionate hearts which possess great strength.Heinrich Böll
