Beyond Covid-19: Life under siege in Amazonia

24 Apr, 2020 | Comunicati Stampa

Live stream on Friday 24 April, at 19.00 GMT+1 (Brussels time).

In this particular time, everyone’s eyes are on the COVID-19 emergency – rightfully so. The emergency presents us with new challenges, which have a deep impact on global politics and society. While our daily lives may feel like they are somewhat “on hold”, human rights violations have not been suspended: on the contrary, they may even intensify due to the implications of this pandemic. 

Therefore, we decided to organise a weekly panel discussion to not forget about important human rights issues, bringing them directly to peoples’ houses through easily accessible social media.  

This fourth episode will focus on the situation in Amazonia in relation to the pandemic and various interconnected human rights issues.

The live stream is on Friday 24 April 2020, at 19.00 GMT+1 (Brussels time).
