On 11 December 2020, the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) participated in a panel on the disproportionate negative impact of COVID-19 on the health and socio-economic participation of minorities and migrants. Organised by the Brussels Interdisciplinary Research centre on Migration and Minorities (BIRMM) and VUB’s Fundamental Rights Centre, the event brought together academics and experts from civil society. The panel highlighted that while the global pandemic, posing a threat to us all, does not affect us all equally: the most vulnerable among us are hit more severely. Minorities and migrants tend to face double jeopardy, because of the systemic discrimination resulting in a weaker socio-economic position. Poor health conditions make these groups not only more susceptible to contracting the virus but also disproportionately hit by the ensuing economic crisis, the panel concluded.
