The human security field brings together the concerns and practices that deal with ''freedom from fear'' and ''freedom from want.'' This covers a broad range of issues and practices, but they all share three main analytic components: (1) person-centered, focusing on views of security from the ground up rather than the top down, (2) multi-dimensional, requiring both an interdisciplinary approach and one that integrates all voices and perspectives, and (3) preventive, choosing to look at root causes and early indicators to be pro-active rather than reactive to threat.<br><br>The core literature of the field begins with critical security studies, a body of work originating in the 1980s and proposing that security studies should go beyond its state-centric military focus. Feminist security studies added the importance of viewing security with a gender lens. In the 1994 Human Development Report, human security was first introduced to the policy world, drawing upon two of Franklin Roosevelt's ''four freedoms'' quoted above. The issue areas most commonly associated with human security include: gender-based violence, human trafficking, forced migration, drug policy, civilian protection through human rights or non-violent action, multi-track diplomacy, youth and conflict, financial inclusion, and provision of basic services such as healthcare and education.
