COVID-19: How to Include Marginalized and Vulnerable People in Risk Communication and Community Engagement [en]

March 25, 2020

 

“Women, the elderly, adolescents, youth, and children, persons with disabilities, indigenous populations, refugees, migrants, and minorities experience the highest degree
of socio-economic marginalization. Marginalized people become even more vulnerable in emergencies. This is due to factors such as their lack of access to effective surveillance and early-warning systems, and health services. The COVID-19 outbreak is predicted to have significant impacts on various sectors.

The populations most at risk are those that:

  • depend heavily on the informal economy;
  • occupy areas prone to shocks;
  • have inadequate access to social services or political influence;
  • have limited capacities and opportunities to cope and adapt and;
  • limited or no access to technologies.By understanding these issues, we can support the capacity of vulnerable populations in emergencies. We can give them priority assistance, and engage them in decision-making processes for a response, recovery, preparedness, and risk reduction.”

This guide was developed under the lead of UN Women and Translators Without Borders.
