Hundreds of thousands of people have been infected worldwide by the new coronavirus (Covid-19), and the virus is rapidly spreading.
Governments must act to ensure our right to health, and support the most vulnerable in our societies. Censorship and discrimination have no place in the fight against this virus – and we will stay vigilant to denounce the abuse and violation of human rights wherever they occur.
But as the situation develops, here are six things you can do today:
Share something hopeful and positive on your social networks, it can be a good news story you found online or a video of people showing solidarity during the pandemic. Remember to tag your social media posts using #CoronaKindness so we can see them too.
Take some time to explore our Human Rights Academy where you can find numerous free human rights courses, from freedom of expression to staying safe online.
Get involved on Amnesty.org and sign in a petition
Learn from our YouTube channel where you’ll find a series of tutorials where we digested some serious human rights issues for you.
Help others with technology and social media, if you’re good at it. Or maybe you can find reliable sources and advice online and share it with them, like information from the World Health Organisation (WHO).
Show solidarity and care for others
