ICN stands in solidarity with nurses around the world who are working on the frontlines of humanitarian health care emergencies, whether human-induced wars and political conflicts, or natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods and droughts. ICN is immensely proud to support these courageous and resilient nurses who continue to provide much-needed care despite the personal dangers they face in their work through the #NursesforPeace campaign. 

A short video message from ICN CEO Howard Catton shares initial feedback from NNAs in the Middle East and Gulf region and explains the global photo action, inviting nurses to participate to show global solidarity with nurses working in extremely difficult circumstances. 

Join the global call

1. Take a photo with your team or organization
2. Send it to: [email protected]

We will add the #NursesforPeace banner to your photo (see below) and share it across our digital platforms.

Together, these messages will form a powerful global display of support, shared with nurses working in crisis settings as a reminder that the world’s nursing community stands with them.

At a time when divisions are deepening, nurses are coming together with a simple, urgent message that there can be no health without peace, and no peace without protecting those who care.
