Join the IDS-led Coalition for Religious Equality and Inclusive Development (CREID) in the launch of new research exploring how the Covid-19 pandemic impacted religiously marginalised groups experiencing intersecting vulnerabilities in India and Nigeria.
The speakers will present the direct and indirect impacts of Covid-19, how religious inequalities intersect with other inequalities of power to shape how people have experienced the pandemic, and what this means for policymakers. How can we coordinate effective support to avert deepening marginalisation?
