Cross-cutting themes
topics that are important to development cooperation and should be integrated into all development interventions and policies.
Dignity and Justice

Development
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights provides a vision of the world in which everyone, regardless of who they are and where they live, has equal opportunity to grow and develop in freedom and equality and to the fullness of their potential
Our responsibility is to help other people and nations, through individual and joint actions, and to create a social and international order that enables the enjoyment of all human rights - civil, cultural, economic, political, and social
Environment
In no other area it is so clear that the actions of nations, communities, businesses and individuals can so dramatically affect the rights of others - because damaging the environment can damage the rights of people, near and far, to a secure healthy life.
Culture
The way we are born, live and die is affected by the culture to which we belong, so to take away our cultural heritage is to deny us our identify.
We can all benefit from our experience of other cultures and we have something to offer them in return.
The UDHR says "everyone has the right freely to participate in the cultural life of the community" and by implication, this also means that no-one has the right to dominate, direct or eradicate that culture or impose theirs upon us
Dona Victorina Syndrome
a manifestation of acute inferiority complex, is disastrous for national development. It denies and confuses us about our identity as a people. A people without a strong sense of identity will have no psychic or spiritual center around which to organize their lives.
Gender
The UDHR acknowledges that men and women are not the same but insists on their right to be equal before the law and treated without discrimination.
Gender equality is not a 'women issue' but refers to the equal rights, responsibilities and opportunities of women and men, girls and boys, and should concern and fully engage men as well as women.
Article 2. Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, color, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status.
Participation
Without this we cannot experience and enjoy the wide range of rights and freedoms that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights seeks to guarantee.
Our participation should be active, free and meaningful. Our views to improve our lives and our community should be heard and answered
