As the UN’s poverty and human rights expert Philip Alston famously
spoke truth to governments about what he saw. We explore what kind
of world we’re heading into in the wake of coronavirus, and what
Philip learnt listening to communities in countries from the USA to
Ghana to Chile to Malaysia (some fascinating stories here!).
EQUALS is all about bringing a range of experts to share their own
unique and insight from their own experiences. Professor Philip
Alston was appointed to be the UN Special Rapporteur on extreme
poverty and human rights, an independent expert role that he held
from 2014 until April 2020.
We discuss the interplay between coronavirus and inequality, and if
there is anything good that can possibly come out of this pandemic
for a more equal world. We also dig deeper into the pressures of
holding such a prominent UN role, and about the relationship
between human rights and inequality.
This is the latest part of the EQUALS #InequalityVirus
mini-series.
