Making sure that people with disabilities get the right health care to do with their bodies, sex, relationships and having children during COVID-19 About this information This information is about health care for people with disabilities to do with their bodies, sex, relationships and having children. For example, the health care might help people to give birth or have safer sex and relationships. This information is about making sure that people with disabilities can get this health care during COVID-19. And when other big problems happen in the world. People with disabilities have a right to get this healthcare like everyone else. But they are often left out. And COVID-19 has made things worse. This information is about what countries and organizations should do now for people with disabilities. We found out what many people with disabilities thought first. People in this document means women and girls, men, and boys with disabilities. It also means people with disabilities who are not the gender that people said they were when they were born. For example, someone may be told they are a boy because of how their body looks. But that is not who they really are. They might be a girl. Or they might not be a boy or girl ... more
Sozial benachteiligte, ethnisierte und rassifizierte Menschen sind häufiger von Infektionserkrankungen betroffen. Auch der Krankheitsverlauf ist bei ihnen oftmals schwerwiegender. Das liegt an vergleichsweise schlechten Wohn- und Arbeitsverhältnissen, dem eingeschränkten Zugang zu gesunder Ernährung, Bewegung und Erholung ... more
mnesty International’s annual report on the state of the world’s human rights in 2021, published in March 2022, shows that promises to “build back better” after the Covid-19 pandemic were little more than lip service. Hopes of global cooperation withered in the face of vaccine hoarding and corporate greed. Governments suppressed independent and critical voices, with some even using the pandemic as a pretext to shrink further the civic space. New and unresolved conflicts erupted or persisted. Those forced to flee were subjected to a litany of abuses, including pushbacks by countries in the Global North. But hopes for a better post-pandemic world were kept alive by courageous individuals, social movements and civil society organizations. The report is available in different language ... more

Updated 8 June 2021. Coronavirus is spreading globally. How can individuals, communities, humanitarian actors, local and national authorities best respond to uphold the rights of all affected people?
Preliminary overview of refugees and migrants self-reported impact of COVID-19 The study surveyed over 30,000 refugees and migrants living in 170 countries. Many of the respondents had fled war or dire economic conditions in their home country only to be faced with the additional challenges posed by COVID-19. Travel restrictions including border closures, suspension of resettlement travel, and last-minute deportation left many stranded or forced to stay in cramped, makeshift shelters or detention centers. Amid these uncertain, precarious conditions, many migrants described either a lack of access to health services or a fear of seeking them out — even if they were experiencing COVID-19 symptoms ... more
World Report 2021, Human Rights Watch’s 31st annual review of human rights practices and trends around the globe, reviews developments in more than 100 countries. In his introductory essay, Executive Director Kenneth Roth calls on the incoming US administration to more deeply embed respect for human rights as an element of domestic and foreign policy to counter the “wild oscillations in human rights policy” that in recent decades have come with each new resident of the White House. Roth emphasizes that even as the Trump administration mostly abandoned the protection of human rights, joined by China, Russia and others, other governments—typically working in coalition and some new to the cause—stepped forward to champion rights. As it works to entrench rights protections, the Biden administration should seek to join, not supplant, this new collective effort ... more
