Question

evaluate extent in which the right to human dignity and the right to equality free from discrimination of individuals were infringed upon during the covid 19 lockdown ​

Answer 1

Answer:

During the COVID-19 pandemic, human rights violations including censorship, discrimination, arbitrary detention, xenophobia were reported from different parts of the world. Amnesty International has responded that "Human rights violations hinder, rather than facilitate, responses to public health emergencies, and undercut their efficiency."[1] The World Health Organization has stated that stay-at-home measures for slowing down the pandemic must not be done at the expense of human rights.[2]

Numerous experts reported that the COVID-19 pandemic is a situation when numerous issues are being experienced intersectionally, and thus, are no longer an issue of only one category.
