E3 - Locked Down and Locked Out: What needs to change

This is E3 - Locked Down and Locked Out.

Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, in the beginning of 2020, Indigenous Peoples all over the African continent have suffered more than most.

One thing is the virus itself, but as you have heard in the previous two episodes, the measures and restrictions introduced by governments and authorities to keep the virus from spreading have had a devastating impact on the lives and livelihoods of the Indigenous African populations.

In this final episode of Locked Down and Locked Out, we'll discuss the situation of the Indigenous Peoples of Africa in general, and what needs to change on both a local and international level to improve the situation for the communities in question.

The intention of the series is to spread awareness of the violation of Indigenous Peoples basic human rights during the pandemic, and explain how the drastic measures taken by the governments in their responses are actually ruining the lives and livelihoods of these people.

Locked Down and Locked Out is a new podcast brought to you by the International Work Group of Indigenous Affairs (IWGIA) in collaboration with GIZ supported by BMZ.
