Why the Ukraine conflict should change the way we respond to large-scale crises. A talk with IFRC’s former Ukraine operations manager Violaine des Rosiers

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.
