The Movement is respected, accepted and recognised for its work supporting vulnerable people”
Bekele Geleta said: “Younger generations are much more active, learn faster and communicate differently, and we have to be able to link them to the mission of the Red Cross Red Crescent,” “Imagine the value that they bring to National Societies: they can be fast-thinking and engaged in finding a future for themselves around a reliable and credible cause”
Bekele Geleta said: “We can say that the National Societies of the countries where there is no Red Cross Red Crescent law are National Societies at risk. There is no legal base, and no legal presence to legitimize their work,”
Bekele Geleta said: “If we look at the scenario of the nine CIS member states, we see that Tajikistan already has a Red Crescent law,” “Let us just imagine the potential multiplier effect that one successful example can bring on other eight countries, including Russia. And let us just imagine the tremendous humanitarian advancement that their respective National Societies could benefit from if their auxiliary status was formalized”
