The United States government has begun a process of dismantling offices, which has resulted in job losses for many people who worked abroad for USAID. This decision leaves millions of people in extremely vulnerable situations unprotected and puts an end to environmental measures, affecting parks and national reserves.
The country has also declared English as the only official language and has significantly reduced the budget allocated to international humanitarian aid. This cut will have serious long-term consequences, halting development projects and depriving communities of vital assistance in areas such as water supply, food, health, and vaccination against diseases.
USAID, the largest humanitarian agency in the world, is affected by these measures, drastically reducing its workforce. The cuts driven by the administration trigger a rollback in terms of equality, human rights, environmental health, and sensitivity to the needs of others.
In addition to cuts to humanitarian aid, the U.S. administration has taken controversial actions, such as the official recognition of only two sexes, the prohibition of funding for health services related to gender transition, and the withdrawal from important international agreements.
These political decisions have generated concern at both national and international levels, as they reflect a biased and radical approach to issues of inclusion, social justice, and global cooperation. The struggle for full well-being and equality must be a shared responsibility that benefits all of humanity, regardless of borders and nationalities.
