Identifying good practices in addressing hate crime, discrimination, intolerance and other challenges to community security during the COVID-19 pandemic

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and their implications for our societies are more far-reaching than anticipated and have added new layers of complexity to addressing intolerance and discrimination. The pandemic has had a disproportionate impact on some groups and segments of the population such as Roma and Sinti, migrants and refugees and has seen an increase in online and offline hate crimes. Physical distancing and state-imposed restrictions have presented difficulties in preserving community security and resilience.

ODIHR, in cooperation with the Miller Center, will host a panel discussion with representatives from civil society, academia and law enforcement to discuss good practices in addressing some of the the challenges presented during the responses to the pandemic.

PANEL MEMBERS INCLUDE:

  • Representative from the UK National Police Chiefs Council
  • Member of the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) National Advisory Counsel, Chair of the Prevention of Targeted Violence Against Faith-Based Communities Subcommittee, and Sr. Fellow, Rutgers University Miller Center
  • Founder of the NGO ‘Faith Matters’
