Abstract

Over the last decade we have seen an increased interest in the health, well-being and security of aid workers. However, humanitarian and development organisations have primarily focused on the external threats to aid worker security and given less attention to how individual characteristics (e.g. gender identity, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religious identity or disability) may intersect to create specific vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities are often exacerbated in contexts where development and humanitarian organisations operate. If we are to truly capitalise on the increased attention to aid worker security, health and well-being, we first need to know how individuals might be vulnerable, what their specific needs might be, and how best to support them.
