Human security is a people-centered approach to security that focuses on protecting individuals rather than merely safeguarding the territorial integrity of a nation. Traditionally, security was understood in terms of military strength, defense against external aggression, and protection of state sovereignty. However, with changing global realities such as poverty, disease, environmental degradation, terrorism, displacement, and economic inequality, the concept of security has expanded. Human security emphasizes that individuals should live free from fear, free from want, and free with dignity. It recognizes that the well-being of people is the foundation of peace, development, and social stability. The concept of human security gained global recognition through the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Human Development Report of 1994. The report argued that security should not be confined to military concerns but should include protection against chronic threats such as hunger, disease, and repression, as well as sudden disruptions in daily life. Human security therefore integrates human rights, sustainable development, social justice, and peace into a comprehensive framework. Human security consists of several interconnected dimensions. Economic security ensures that individuals have a stable source of income, employment opportunities, and protection from extreme poverty. Unemployment, inflation, and financial crises can threaten economic security by reducing people's ability to meet their basic needs. Food security ensures that every person has access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food. Hunger, malnutrition, climate change, and disruptions in food supply chains can seriously affect human well-being. Governments play an important role in ensuring food availability through agricultural development, public distribution systems, and nutritional programmes. Health
