Exploring new and innovative responses to the crisis: NGO solidarity during COVID-19
To implement appropriate and effective global actions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, NGOs, in official partnership with UNESCO, have created a social media network of solidarity in order to interact with their local associations. Anxiety and fear about the virus during a public health emergency has led to various forms of social stigma, discrimination and stereotyping. With several Facebook groups created in all regions, this initiative aims to share the realities of the situations experienced and alert about the needs, report examples of exceptional solidarity initiated by civil society on all continents, and propose a new vision for the post-COVID-19 world.
