Global Solidarity for Humanity
The world is experiencing significant economic transformations and facing security, environmental, health, and social challenges. These challenges affect the people of developing and least developed countries, mainly because poverty is the biggest challenge. Eliminating poverty is considered an essential requirement for achieving sustainable development.
One of the development goals indicates the need to mobilize significant resources from various sources, including through enhanced development cooperation, to provide these countries with what qualifies them to support their people in life, given their suffering from the spread of diseases and the prevalence of corruption, and many crises that have affected the living reality of individuals on the one hand, and the achievement of social and economic development goals on the other hand.
The living suffering of the poor is the most severe issue that organizations and competent bodies must study and confront, with all that is required to bring support and develop mechanisms and means to alleviate it. This can only happen if we follow a practical approach based on the principle of human solidarity based on two rules.
The first is solidarity and assisting in any way, material or moral, as is the case with charitable institutions, humanitarian organizations, and contributing individuals. This assistance is intended to alleviate suffering, care for the rights of the marginalized and deprived, and spread the humanitarian message in cases of conflict, disasters, and worsening poverty.
The second rule is to build development patterns and plans that provide more support to those in need by providing education and training opportunities, which enhances investment in their energies as human forces capable of working and, producing and contributing to building their economies and societies. This can only be achieved for them with growing and continuous human solidarity that would accomplish a humanitarian vision that achieves solidarity and compassion, improving their living conditions and making them more stable.
Therefore, human solidarity is of great importance. It invests in the mercy, compassion, and support in the hearts of those who are able for their brothers who live in difficult circumstances, making them live the joy of giving to them. It spreads the culture of giving, charitable work, and social solidarity so everyone enjoys human dignity.
Human solidarity is a duty and a necessity; it does not discriminate between people based on race, color, or religion. It also directs people to extend a helping hand to the poor and needy, generating compassion and love, the basis for building and stabilizing societies.
