Slide 8: Component 2: Upholding Impartiality, Neutrality, and Independence  Rationale: Ensure integrity and effectiveness of work.  Maintain trust and access in challenging environments.  Principles guide actions and decision-making (Pellegrino et al., 2020). To maintain trust and access in difficult environments, the Red Cross abides by the core principles of independence, impartiality, and neutrality. Guiding our actions, these principles guarantee the integrity and effectiveness of our work. Slide 9: Component 3: Empowering Individuals and Strengthening Communities  Rationale: Essential for long-term resilience and development.  Invest in education, disaster preparedness, and health initiatives.  Empower people to take charge and build stronger communities. Essential for long-term resilience and sustainable development is the acknowledgment by the Red Cross. Education, disaster preparedness, and health initiatives are investments made to empower individuals and develop stronger communities. Enabling people to take charge of their own lives is crucial. Slide 10: Component 4: Collaborating with a Diverse Range of Stakeholders  Rationale: Address complex global challenges effectively.  Partner with government agencies, non-profit organizations, and community leaders.  Align efforts, ensure effectiveness, and respond to local needs. Collaboration is key in tackling intricate global issues, and the Red Cross knows this all too well. Our efforts are always properly directed and adapted to suit the local needs of the communities

we serve, thanks to our partnerships with government agencies, non-profits, and community stakeholders. Slide 11: Strategic Plan of the Red Cross  Outreach Program: Educating the community on intimate partner violence.  Empowerment Programs: Supporting victims on their journey.  Services: Emergency shelter, case management, counseling, crisis hotline, court advocacy (Will, 2022). In order to end the cycle of sexual assault and violence, the community outreach program by the organization educates about intimate partner violence. Victim empowerment is also focused on through tailored programs for those impacted. Services such as providing emergency shelter, counseling, referrals, and 24/7 crisis hotline exist, as well as court advocacy to aid in legal matters. The organization delivers case management to ensure comprehensive supporting for individuals fleeing their homes. Slide 12: Red Cross Case  Funding Challenges: Increased competition from other organizations  Perception Issues: Community misunderstanding about government affiliation  Strain on Services: Difficulty in delivering services due to financial constraints Due to the emergence of numerous organizations that offer services similar to those provided by the Red Cross, the matter of generating funds has become quite troublesome. Consequently, the organization grapples with competition, consequently inhibiting its ability to obtain the full amount of resources required to fulfill their societal functions. Moreover, the organization faces

further complications as some members of the public mistake it for a government establishment and, therefore, decline to extend their financial support to it, making it even more challenging to operate effectively. Slide 13: Conclusion  Red Cross's mission: Compassion, respect for human dignity.  Over a century of guiding actions to prevent and alleviate suffering.  Commitment to humanity remains steadfast.  Testament to the power of humanity, empathy, collaboration, and shared commitment. For over a century, the Red Cross has been guided by a mission rooted in compassion and a profound respect for human dignity. In spite of evolving challenges, the organization remains steadfast in preventing and alleviating human suffering. Undeniably, the Red Cross stands as a powerful testament to the potency of humanity, exhibiting that collaboration, empathy, and a shared commitment to the well-being of others can truly make a profound difference in shaping the world.
