Charter of Rights

Frontline Humanitarian and Community Workers

The Charter of Rights for Frontline Humanitarian and Community Workers is a voluntary commitment framework designed to strengthen the dignity, safety, and wellbeing of those who deliver aid closest to crises. Rooted in global evidence and field realities, the Charter outlines practical, context-sensitive commitments across safety, compensation, mental health, accountability, and local leadership. It recognises diverse operational environments and promotes progressive realisation rather than rigid compliance. By endorsing the Charter, organisations affirm their responsibility to protect and support frontline workers, enhance humanitarian effectiveness, and advance locally led action. The Charter serves as an advocacy tool and a shared commitment to ethical, equitable humanitarian practice.

The Charter of Rights is a living document, intended to evolve as new risks, challenges, and expectations emerge in the duty of care for humanitarian and community workers. Its commitments will be strengthened over time through the feedback, experiences, and collective knowledge of the global humanitarian community.
