Is Médecins sans Frontières a Global Citizenship Organization?
Yes. Not only does MSF take action by providing care beyond borders to citizens, MSF also as an organization, speaks out on issues to do with social justice. MSF as a collective force is able to speak out on injustices and be heard by governments and related agencies, creating a call to action. Speaking out on issues is part of being a global citizen. It is important to look at issues with a critical eye and this is what MSF does. MSF does not work to better only itself and its members; instead, the members work together to better what is around them, our world. MSF is able to look at the “bigger picture” rather than focusing on individual development. MSF participates positively in the world and analyzes issues critically. MSF is a prime example of global citizenship.
