Description for Public Discourse -Human Rights & COVID:

The purpose of this discourse is to follow-up on the topics brought up by the panelists of Human Rights Day 2020. Kyla Powell will be discussing further on what type of rights have not been the same for individuals that live on the native reservation versus communities in the suburbs and cities. Other discussions will include: How the Bahá’í Faith and other Faith-based communities come into place and contribute during these turbulent times. How did the communities within the reservation seek assistance? What is the status of education for children during this time? Did race, religion and culture have effects on the rights of individuals during the pandemic? What can we as society do to advocate positive change?

We must address the failures exposed by COVID-19 and apply human rights standards so to tackle entrenched, systematic, and intergenerational inequalities, exclusion and discrimination. Please join us to explore these themes and more at our follow-up discourse.
