SUMMARY:Covid-19 Vaccination: How churches can ensure that stateless people are not left behind
DESCRIPTION:Covid-19 vaccination: How churches can ensure that stateless people are not left behind  \nLink to join the webinar on Monday 15 March @ 13:00-14:30 CET: oikoumene.org/live \nAs any virus\, Covid-19 is an invisible threat which has changed our lives and affected our economies a great deal. The current Covid-19 pandemic has been a good reminder that the right to health is a universal right\, as enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (article 25). It is a right that every individual is entitled to\, irrespective of his or her legal status. \nThe pandemic is also a reminder that we need to work together as a global family to escape this global health crisis. This means that vaccination should be accessible to all\, ideally as soon as possible before the virus mutates and becomes resistant to existing vaccines. \nIn these times of health crisis\, governments have been confronted with difficult decisions to make\, including avoiding economic disaster while at the same time finding a decent response to the pandemic. It is almost natural that their primary concerns are their nationals. Yet\, there are many individuals living on the margins in their territory\, such as undocumented migrants\, refugees\, and stateless people. \nStateless people\, i.e. people with no legal identification\, have been in most cases overlooked and forgotten. Invisible\, yet living in our midst. \nHow can governments ensure that an invisible threat like Covid-19 does not disproportionately affect people and communities who have been always been overlooked and treated as invisible in other times? The pre-existing vulnerability of stateless people\, i.e. their invisibility\, put them at greater risk of being left behind when national public health campaigns (such as vaccinations) are planned. \nHow can churches and ecumenical bodies ensure that the vaccinations are accessible to all\, including stateless people and other people undocumented people living on the margins during this time of pandemic? \nThe current pandemic is an important reminder that we are all equally vulnerable in the face of the current pandemic: Covid-19 does not discriminate\, but our responses to it does. \nSpeakers include (alphabetical order): \n\nMr. Amal de Chickera\, Co-Director\, Institute of Statelessness and Inclusion\nDr. Ronald Lalthanmawia\, Programme Coordinator for Prophetic Diakonia\, Christian Conference of Asia (CCA)\nMs. Mira Neaimeh\, Regional Executive\, World Student Christian Federation – Middle East\nMs. Marcella Rouweler\, Legal Officer\, UNHCR Statelessness Section\nMr. Gorden Simango\, Director\, All Africa Conference of Churches (AACC)\n\nThe webinar will be moderated by Rev. Prof. Dr Cornelia Füllkrug-Weitzel\, member of CCIA. \n______________________________________________________________________________________________ \nCoNGO Notes: For more information on the NGO Committee on Migration\, please visit ngo-migration.org.
