COVID-19 has a broad range of disproportionate and adverse impacts upon national, ethnic, religious and linguistic minority communities. The pandemic has been most devastating for the lives, health and well-being of those with lower socio-economic status – a category that tracks closely with minority status in most EU countries. United Nation reports indicate instances of violence, discrimination, arbitrary denial of services, heightened exclusion or other forms of disparate negative impact in the COVID-19 crisis against minorities including Roma, people of African Descent, people of Asian descent, refugees, asylum seekers, migrants and stateless persons, internally displaced persons and religious minorities, as well as other persons and groups exposed to stigma and/or discrimination such as LGBTI people, indigenous peoples, as well as based on caste. There has also been a proliferation of conspiracy theories and hate- or bias-based discourse in connection with COVID-19, including with Anti-Semitic, Anti-Muslim, Anti-Roma, or other racist, xenophobic or sectarian subtexts. Such attitudes exacerbate fear and worsen the situations of various minority groups, people of African descent, people of Asian descent, or people considered foreigners -- persons already facing threats of discrimination or exclusion based on racism, xenophobia or related forms of intolerance. For example, the school closure and the consequently digital education had a very real impact on many young people, but especially on the most vulnerable such as youth from low-income and single-parent families; young immigrant, refugees, ethnic minority and Indigenous backgrounds; and youth with diverse gender identities and sexual orientations. The younger minorities without physical learning opportunities, social and emotional support available in schools, internet access and appropriate IT equipment, suffered from such situation. Thus, COVID-19 has not only claimed more than a million lives in Europe, but it has also combined with high levels of inequality to set back progress on equitable development by decades and drive-up inequality further across the region. Therefore, in this historical time, it is necessary to enhance human rights education in society to avoid inequalities and to give young people with minority background the opportunity for future and better inclusion in society. Effective human rights education not only provides knowledge of human rights and the mechanisms that protect them, but also develops the skills necessary to advocate, protect and enforce human rights in day-to-day life. This is why it is now more essential than ever that youth workers, who are responsible for the well-being of young people, have the knowledge and skills needed to reduce the discrimination and inequalities faced by minority youth in society. Nevertheless, following the partners' analysis, it appears that: -the most youth workers are unable to work with ethnic minorities (e.g. Roma), religious minorities and non-citizens (refugees, asylum seekers and other non-citizens); -in all partner countries, at youth organisation level, there is a rising need to update the knowledge and skills of youth workers in the field of human rights of youth minorities; -disregarding the current challenges to the human rights of minorities generated by COVID-19, which now require more prepared youth workers who are sympathetic to the needs of young people. Having all this in mind, the principal objective of the "World of Equality (WOE)" project is to enhance the knowledge and skills of youth workers in the key topics of human rights education of minority youth.
