New essay!

Based on the keynote speech Pro. Rune Halvorsen gave on the webinar ”Rights Protection of Vulnerable Groups in the Pandemic” on May 23, we were asked for a topical essay by Chinese journals. Our essay “Social Consequences of the Covid-19 Pandemic in Europe – How to reduce new risks of poverty and social exclusion” has been finished lately and we are glad to post it preliminarily on our blog. See more from “PUBLICATIONS”.
基于鲁尼·哈佛森教授在“疫情防控中的特定群体权利保障”网络研讨会上所做的“新冠疫情与社会保护:防止贫困及社会排斥”主旨演讲,我们于近日完成了题为《新冠疫情对欧洲的社会影响及如何减少贫困与社会排斥风险》的文章,并率先刊发在本项目网站上。查看文章请点击“学术成果”。

We co-organized the webinar “Rights Protection of Vulnerable Groups in the Pandemic”

On 23 May Wuhan University Institute for Human Rights Studies, China, hosted the webinar on the Rights Protection of Vulnerable Groups in the Pandemic, as a part of the Global Epidemic Prevention & Control and Human Rights Protection Conference Series. Department of Social Work, Child Welfare and Social Policy of Oslo Metropolitan University and Wuhan East-lake Institute for Social Advancement (our partner institute for the project “Disability Resilience”) co-organized this event. Professor Rune Halvorsen from OsloMet was invited to make the keynote speech Social Consequences of the Covid-19 Pandemic in Europe – How to Reduce Risk of Poverty and Social Exclusion at the beginning of the webinar and shared his observations on how the Covid-19 Pandemic affects persons in precautious positions from the medical and social perspective and what and how social interventions would be required to reduce the risks in the pandemic that the vulnerable groups would take.
