People in the Red Vest / Episode 10, Season 2

A 25-year veteran of the Red Cross and Red Crescent, Violaine des Rosiers has served as an emergency response humanitarian worker in more than 30 countries, including Palestine, Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, Liberia and, most recently, Ukraine. In her home country of Canada, she also served as CEO of two social innovation organizations. With all these experiences, she has a lot to say about ways humanitarians can innovate, improve and learn from the rapid changes and massive challenges of the 21st Century.

I found Violaine's insights and description of humanitarian assistance to be valuable, given the numerous diverse crises the world is currently facing. I had the pleasure of meeting Violaine while we were both working in Syria. Her passion and desire to assist affected communities and the host National Society were a joy to witness. Violaine is an excellent listener who makes you feel heard and appreciated. Her moral and ethical compass is well-calibrated.
