Jean Henry Dunant: The Swiss Humanitarian Who Changed The World (1828 - 1910)
Jean Henry Dunant was a Swiss humanitarian and businessman, born in 1828.
He is famously known for founding the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).
His humanitarian journey began after witnessing the aftermath of the Battle of Solferino in 1859.
Dunant advocated for the creation of volunteer relief societies to aid wounded soldiers.
This led to the establishment of the Red Cross Movement, providing global disaster relief.
He played a crucial role in the adoption of the Geneva Conventions to protect war victims.
Apart from humanitarian work, Dunant was also involved in business endeavors.
Financial struggles later in life contrasted with his eventual recognition and Nobel Peace Prize in 1901.
He passed away in 1910, leaving a profound legacy of compassion and advocacy.
Dunant's impact on international humanitarian efforts remains influential to this day.
