The true measure of any society can be found in how it treats its most vulnerable members
Mahatma Gandhi
Solidarity ‘Missing in Action’
Secretary-General UN Secretary-General António Guterres’ addressing the General Assembly.
We face the greatest cascade of crises in our lifetimes. The COVID-19 pandemic has supersized glaring inequalities. The climate crisis is pummelling the planet. Upheaval from Afghanistan to Ethiopia to Yemen and beyond has thwarted peace.
A surge of mistrust and misinformation is polarizing people and paralysing societies. Human rights are under fire. Science is under assault. And economic lifelines for the most vulnerable are coming too little and too late — if they come at all.

Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for a kindness
Lucius Annaeus Seneca
When people live in a fair, caring society, where everyone has equal access to social goods, they don’t have to spend their time worrying about how to cover their basic needs day to day – they can enjoy the art of living. And instead of feeling they are in constant competition with their neighbours, they can build bonds of social solidarity

WE ARE ALL VULNERABLE
And if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people
The Qur’an 5:32
Our work for peace must begin within the private world of each of us. To build for man a world without fear, we must be without fear. To build a world of justice, we must be just.
Dag Hammarskjold
I am just a human being trying to make it in a world that is rapidly losing its understanding of being human.

Dimitri Dimitracacos is a photographer of Greek origins. He developed an interest in photography in his childhood and soon started working for Condé Nast and several famous photographers. At the same time, he started developing some personal projects allowing him to define his style, in particular in black and white on film. Around 2000, he started a career as a free-lance photographer with assignments from many different magazines. His passion for photography has extended over the time to other fields like street-photography and portrait and these are exactly the fields he has chosen to examine in depth for some time now. In 2019 he was the author of UNICRI’s campaign “I am no longer myself” on violence against women.
