During the COVID-19 pandemic, we are all vulnerable, but those marginalized, including refugees and others forcibly displaced, are more severely impacted. Refugees, stateless people, and IDPs often live in overcrowded settings without adequate means to protect themselves.

Cities around the world, however, are stepping up to protect their most vulnerable residents, including refugees and other vulnerable populations. Initiatives include providing free access to health care and direct cash assistance, placing moratoriums on evictions and rent hikes, and ensuring that all public outreach materials on prevention of COVID-19 are multilingual.

Join a conversation with representatives of cities in the Americas and Ms. Gillian Triggs, Assistant High Commissioner for Protection of UNHCR, and Ms. Vittoria Zanuso, Executive Director Mayors Migration Council (MMC), on 30 July 2020 from 10:00-11:00 am EDT to hear more about how cities are leading the way in including refugees in their COVID-19 response.
