"We are not sure that words can always save lives, but we know that silence can certainly kill".

James Orbinski, f.d. international president of Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)

Médecins Sans Frontières staff often witness violence, abuse and mistreatment in connection with their work, and this is happening in places where there is barely any international attention. At the communication and advocacy department at the Swedish office, we work to shed light on humanitarian crises and the consequences for human health and access to healthcare. We conduct strategic and operational advocacy work and raise the voice of our patients and our employees to the media, the public and decision-makers in Sweden.
