we want to have a discussion about the social effects of emergencies.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and other emergencies that have recently taken place all over the world, many people have experienced devastating health, social and economic consequences. Social consequences of such emergencies have left certain groups disproportionately affected by emergencies, including people of lower socioeconomic status, people of colour, and communities experiencing marginalization.
As can be seen through North American COVID-19 data, those living in low-income communities and people of colour are more likely to be affected by the virus. Similarly, we’ve seen that the pandemic combined with other emergencies has led to increasingly significant consequences such as in Yemen, where citizens are facing one of the largest humanitarian crises ever.
In this space, we want to talk about how emergencies, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, disproportionately affect some more than others. In what ways do emergencies have social effects? How do we become aware of and address inequities in rebuilding post-COVID-19? And how do we move forward to build a better, more equitable, and just world?
Leave us your thoughts below. We can’t wait to chat.
