MSF teams may witness violence atrocities, and neglect in the course of their work. Témoignage is the act of raising awareness, either in private or in public, about what we see happening in front of us. While working closely with communities impacted by the climate crisis, it’s vital that témoignage persists in documenting the tangible effects observed by our teams.

At times, MSF may speak out publicly to bring a forgotten crisis into view, or to denounce abuses, or challenge the diversion of assistance, or to call out policies that restrict access to medical care or essential medicines.
