Beyond equality: How should we aid survivors of genocide? | Ewelina U. Ochab | TEDxGoodenoughCollege

Ewelina makes the case for why sometimes equality is not sufficient. The survivors of genocide require priority. The concept of human dignity can be a guideline in the application of equality or equity based intervention, and leads to emphasising prevention over subsequent humanitarian aid.

This talk was presented on 1st June 2019 at TEDxGoodenoughCollege - eQuality.
