Upcoming Global Protection Cluster High Level Event
What is the current state of protection during the COVID-19 pandemic? Find out during the Global Protection Cluster High Level Event, with NRC and the SDC, this coming 30 November.
On 30 November, together with the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation, the Global Protection Cluster, and with support from PHAP, the Norwegian Refugee Council is bringing together a High-Level Panel to reflect on the state of protection in the COVID-19 era. The event will draw on findings from a new NRC-Global Protection Cluster report on the current state of play in protection financing, and bring to a close the Global Protection Forum.
Protection Clusters are reporting heightened risks of forced displacement, a rise in xenophobia and stigmatization, a dramatic increase in gender-based violence, and discrimination in access to health, food, water, education, and legal services for vulnerable and marginalized groups. The largest economic shock the world has experienced in decades is not and will not be felt equally; countries, communities, and individuals at greatest risk must have enhanced access to protection services.
This event will present a critical discussion on the place of protection within humanitarian response and the commitments needed across the humanitarian community to address major needs and challenges in 2021 and beyond.
This webinar is free to attend. For increased accessibility for this Zoom event, simultaneous interpretation will be provided in English and Spanish.
