WHY "EiGHT"?
Universal Symbol
Across cultures, the number eight represents balance, renewal, and continuity. In Jewish tradition, it symbolizes striving beyond the natural order toward what ought to be — an ethical horizon rooted in justice.
Integrity Through Tension
The vertical "8" evokes dualities held in balance — a reminder that principled human rights and humanitarian work must engage complexity without losing clarity, consistency, or fairness.
Infinity (∞)
Turned sideways, eight becomes the infinity symbol, expressing the timeless dignity of every human, and the enduring responsibility to protect it.
Moment of Reckoning
October 7, 2023, was a turning point for many human rights and humanitarian professionals, whose search for a framework grounded in consistency, courage, and professional integrity began the next day: October 8.
Letters With Purpose
EiGHT reflects core foundations of principled human rights and humanitarian work: equality, governance, humanity, and transparency — with a lowercase "i" emphasizing the integrity these institutions must reclaim.
