Behind each mask, there is a human being. Human rights at the heart of the response #COVID19.
COVID-19 is a test of societies, of governments, of communities and of individuals. It is a time for solidarity and cooperation to tackle the virus, and to mitigate the effects, often unintended, of measures designed to halt the spread of COVID-19.
Michelle Bachelet, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights
Respect for human rights is fundamental to the success of the public health response and recovery from the pandemic. Join us and put human rights and solidarity at the heart of the response.
