Inclusion in the time of COVID-19: International webinar addressing racism, discrimination, and exclusion

More information

Watch video

Hate speech specifically targeting groups on the basis of ethnicity, nationality, religion or gender threatens social cohesion and stability and can lead to discrimination and hate crimes. In this regard, the COVID-19 pandemic has sparked another epidemic of rapidly spreading hate speech and misinformation. Around the world, Jewish communities are often the target of hate crimes. This reflects a general trend of increasing antisemitism in recent years. The Jewish community is also faced with targeted conspiracy theories that are reinforced in times of crisis. The webinar will examine these disturbing trends and discuss key challenges and possible solutions to combat antisemitism in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.
