COVID-19 in marginalised groups: challenges, actions and voices
Marginalised groups such as people experiencing homelessness, undocumented migrants, sex workers, people who use drugs, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) people and prisoners are among those hardest hit by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, and yet are among the least protected from it by governmental actions to date.
The Nobody Left Outside (NLO) coalition has developed this briefing paper to:
1) Explain to policymakers the particular challenges and impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and government responses among marginalised groups in Europe,
2) Recommend solutions to help improve government responses, recovery measures and inform preparedness plans,
3) Present the voices and actions of marginalised communities and civil society organisations currently working on the frontlines to support them through the pandemic and beyond.
