CREID panel on religious inequalities after COVID-19
Despite much of humanity being faced with one of its worst pandemics for over a century, COVID-19 has not been a great equaliser. Pre-existing vulnerabilities have been exposed and social, economic, gender and religious inequalities have been exacerbated. If we do not address these inequalities now, the situation could be dramatically worse for religious minorities around the world in the wake of Covid-19 and its manifold consequences. So, what can be done? Join the Coalition for Religious Equality and Inclusive Development (CREID) online to hear from their international panel of experts and those experiencing the impacts of COVID-19 in Iraq, Nigeria and Pakistan.

Speakers: Ali Abbas, HIVE (Pakistan), Fatima Suleiman, Islamic Counselling Initiative of Nigeria, Salam Omer, KirkukNow (Iraq)
