Definition "Without borders"

The term “without borders” refers to a group of people acting internationally to provide assistance to people anywhere in the world regardless of nationality, religion, political system, race, language or gender. The expression was first associated with Doctors Without Borders, which was founded in 1971, and more recently with several new organizations: Engineers Without Borders, Reporters Without Borders, Lawyers Without Borders, Teachers Without Borders and Mothers Without Borders. These organizations are all mainly based in developed countries and provide either humanitarian relief or development assistance to developing countries.
