Humanity must never be compromised.

When we founded this Movement, our vision was not merely to create another humanitarian organization. It was to build a global force rooted in compassion, guided by integrity, and strengthened by unity across nations, cultures and communities.
In a world increasingly shaped by conflict, climate crises, displacement and inequality, humanitarian action must evolve beyond response — it must anticipate, prevent, empower and sustain. The Blue Cross & Blue Crescent Movement was established to meet that challenge.
With our commitment to neutrality, impartiality and independence, and strengthened by our engagement in international humanitarian dialogue through our UN-ECOSOC Special Consultative Status, we strive to ensure that vulnerable communities are not only protected during emergencies but empowered long after the crisis has passed.
Our volunteers, medical responders, activists, educators and partners represent the true spirit of this Movement. They are the reason we can extend hope to disaster zones, advocate for human dignity across borders, and preserve the cultural heritage that defines our shared humanity.
This Movement belongs to every individual who believes that service to humanity is the highest calling.
