Safety is usually defined as the state of being in or not in contact with a threat or threat. Human security includes freedom from desire and freedom from fear. It means the absence of hunger and disease as well as violence and war. The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) 1994 Human Development Report is considered a landmark publication in the field of human security, where the concept received international acceptance.

The UNDP report states that there are two basic pillars in human security: freedom from desire and freedom from fear. This means that with the absence of hunger and disease, as violence and war were further considered, potential threats to human security were classified into seven main categories: economic, food, health environment, per sonal community, and Political security.

Gender means national security and foreign policy thinking for security in international relations, or the protection of the state from military violence or intimidation used by another state. This state-centered violence paradigm shaped how leaders and governments envisioned national security.

Whatever falls outside the threat of military violence from another state, by definition, was not a security issue. Thus, public health problems, such as the communicable disease epidemic, were traditionally outside the purview of security policy. Historically, safety and health have never developed any kind of policy relationship.
