Countering Xenophobia and Stigma to Foster Social Cohesion in the COVID 19 Response and Recovery
From the Document: "The COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic prompted widespread expressions of mutual solidarity and support from States, civil society and individuals that transcended socioeconomic status and backgrounds. However, it also created generalized fears and worries that have fed off an existing culture of distrust and discrimination against migrants. For example, what begins as personal disagreements over the observance of social distancing rules can quickly turn into racial slander or outright violence against migrants or persons of perceived foreign nationality or origin. [...] As these persisting incidents and expressions of xenophobia have both short and long-term implications for society-at-large, there is an urgent need to explore new ways to address this and identify targeted interventions to effectively counter various forms of intolerance and disparaging expressions towards migrants or people of perceived migrant origin."

It also includes information on major events reported by Rohingya about last week, what Rohingya want us to know, and what questions they have for humanitarians."

COVID-19 Explained: No Isolation Without Consultation
From the Document: "While Health Sector has yet to finalize plans for shielding and isolation facilities, consultations were held to determine what factors and logic will impact people's decision to engage in these plans more generally. Rohingyas' wider acceptance of health interventions is equally as important as health intervention themselves and there is an urgent need to consider 'community acceptance' as an intrinsic part of health intervention programming. [...] Edition 2 of COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] Explained showed that failure to consult Rohingya on decisions about COVID-19 have already negatively impacted their trust in humanitarians and there is a significant risk that trust may be further eroded if and when isolation and shielding plans are implemented without discussion and consultation with Rohingya."

COVID-19 and the State of Global Mobility in 2020
From the Executive Summary: "The year 2020 was a landmark for human mobility, with dramatically reduced cross-border movements of all kinds. The COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic decimated tourism and business travel; severely curtailed labour migration; and dampened movement of all stripes, from that of international students to family reunification. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) has been tracking the surge in travel restrictions, border closures and health-related travel requirements imposed by governments since the onset of the pandemic. This report, produced through collaboration between the IOM and the Migration Policy Institute (MPI), marks the first comprehensive analysis of these data to understand how the pandemic has reshaped border management and human mobility - and what the lasting ramifications may be throughout 2021 and beyond. While the overall picture of human mobility in 2020 is of movement dramatically curtailed, the picture varies over time and by region. This reflects the diverse range of strategies employed to minimize cross-border mobility and step up the screening of travellers to reduce the spread of the virus."
