Aid Worker Security and the Risk of State Detentions

Описание: This video is on the risk of state detentions to aid workers. The virtual session took place on March 3, 2026, during the Humanitarian Networks and Partnerships Weeks (HNPW).

The session examined the growing threat of aid worker detentions — a sign of shifting security risks where state actors increasingly endanger humanitarians. It explored how organisations can adapt security risk management and crisis response systems traditionally designed for non-state threats. This session included:

1. Notable data trends and detention incident characteristics from the Aid Worker Security Database
2. Detentions and the rise of anti-aid sentiment - Research from Insecurity Insight
3. A presentation from Crisis24 on state detentions
