Call for Contributions from Persons Affected by Hansen’s Disease for Report to Human Rights Council

The Special Rapporteur on the elimination of discrimination against persons affected by Hansen’s disease and their family members, Alice Cruz, is preparing a report due to be presented at the 47th session of the Human Rights Council in June 2021.

This report addresses the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on persons affected by Hansen’s disease and their family members and examines its root causes, consequences, and the way to recovery. To contribute, please complete the questionnaire, which is available in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese.

Feel free to answer both questions or just some of them, or send information on topics other than those mentioned. We request that the questionnaire be sent to the e-mail srleprosy@ohchr.org no later than December 31.
