Disability Rights and Workplace Discrimination in the Time of COVID-19

About 

This event was held on September 22, 2020. 

In light of COVID–19, this panel hoped to address the further challenges that arose for disabled people in regard to workplace discrimination, and how the pandemic has changed the relationship between employers and employees. The event aimed to instigate a broader, and more nuanced, global discussion on disability rights and discrimination, in the workplace and beyond.
