In 2020, I4C-East Asia, in locating the needs borne by the pandemic, hosted 'Hope in the Time of Corona: COVID Conversations/ series that brought together individuals, civil society representatives, and human rights defenders in and beyond the region to talk about both challenges and opportunities, as well as to reimagine what we thought about a new post-COVID-19 world.
The third in our series of COVID Conversations ("Cover-Ups and Gags: Can't We Handle the Truth?") focused on the nexus that binds disinformation, public health, and human rights. Equally emphasized throughout the conversation was civil society's pushback against cover-ups and gags - how individuals and organizations have come together to demand transparency and accountability, represent the marginalized, ensure voices are heard and listened to, and continue to advocate for rights and civil liberties amidst this global health crisis we face.
