Overcoming injustices requires new narratives on migration & different approaches to human mobility. As lockdown measures ease, IOM is concerned that xenophobia will further increase, exacerbated by social tensions created by the projected economic downturn. #PowerofData
.@COVID19 related hate speech has serious implications for medium and longer term recovery. #PowerofData
It makes those targeted more vulnerable to violence, exposes them to political & social exclusion, isolation & stigmatization, inhibits them from expressing themselves & participating in public debate, & deters them from accessing medical care & other vital services #PowerofData
In so doing, it heightens the disproportionate effects of the disease on certain communities & exacerbates underlying social and economic inequalities, aggravates drivers of violent extremism while undermining the social cohesion, solidarity & trust necessary #PowerofData
It may also trigger social unrest & intergroup violence, possibly enhancing the conditions conducive to conflict & atrocity crimes. COVID-19 related hate speech may therefore pose a threat to the enjoyment of human rights, sustainable development & international peace & security.
