    Denne filmen er en oppdatert versjon av en norskspråklig film vi postet i september.
    Vi fikk mange ønsker om en versjon på engelsk, og den er sendt til de andre kontorene våre rundt om i verden. Denne er også postet på nytt etter tilbakemeldinger på bildebruk, som nå er korrigert.
    This film is an updated version of a Norwegian film we posted in September.We received many requests for an English version and it has been sent to our other offices around the world. This has also been posted again following feedback on image use, which has now been improved.

      Very interesting campaign on recognizing other non stereotypical ways of communicating. It would be great to know about What happens to the local health systems when MSF is not present anymore? Do you have any learning on applying the Do no Harm approach?

      @@hectormoralespeace Thanks for your question. Here is one example, but a fairly representative one. MSF typically trains local staff and donates equipment and supplies to ensure continued capacity when handing over to local health authorities: ruclips.net/video/FH-Ddfc3jgA/видео.html

    Thank you for posting this video. I was struggling with the optics of MSF. I am sending a Black American doctor to Sudan in a feature film screenplay I am writing and everything I found represented the 'White Savior' narrative. This is wonderful and I learned so much from your presentation. Thank you again.

    Except a non-colonial approach is also to look at the solution through a lens that gives agency to its people not just to MSF: as in a vision that is fuelled by the people it is said to serve, rather than by the "experts" standing outside, programs imagined with its people.

    I have a question though, what about the differences in salaries and treatment of the people who come from western countries, compared to the ones who come locally? Don’t get me wrong, I still appreciate the fact that the MSF organization is beginning to acknowledge this issue, but a petition was already signed by more than 1100 of your colleagues who are people of color, and they addressed the issues of differential treatment(both in the amount of work, salaries, sick leaves and such), and this was 4 years ago. Is anything done about this? Considering that the people in management positions are still, mostly, white… words can be a great tool in expressing change, but what about actual action?

    NGO-ization refers to the professionalization, bureaucratization, and institutionalization of social movements as they adopt the form of nongovernmental organizations. It led to NGOs' depoliticizing discourses and practices of social movements.

    Point of order, he's not black Sudanese and she's not a French white woman. They are both souls made from the same light of God having a human experience. That's the truth that can end so much strife and division for everyone.

      And this exactly is what so many have had conflict with. The pay isn’t the same, the living conditions for those who sign in isn’t the same. While this is a nice video, it’s says nothing about the real issue.

    Une meilleure représentation de la diversité pourrait passer peut-être par la diversité des langues et en finir avec l'exclusivité de l'anglais. Si cette vidéo est norvégienne, pourquoi n'est-elle pas en norvégien ? Et pourquoi diable personne ne parle français dans les rares phrases dites dans une autre langue que l'anglais ? Pas de Congolais, pas d'Africains francophones dans les équipes de Médecins sans frontières (organisation au nom français) ? Heureusement qu'il y a un Haïtien.

    Courageous it is not, in a time when exactly this is the mainstream narrative and ideal. inclusion and diversity. good you do it, probably. but it is so easy now, the easiest way/trend to go with now. No 👏👏 from me for going with the herd exactly when everyone is on the same route finally.

    Honestly, would it hurt to get a guy who speaks English without that wierd Accent. As an Asian (with an accent that is mocked as incomprehensible) , I am trying hard everyday to better my English and I feel that is one of the reasons why the white saviour complex exists, because they are more relatable.
