There is virtually no one in the whole world that the COVID-19 pandemic has not touched – 26 million infected, approaching 1 million deaths and the global economy thrown into disarray.

OutRight Action International is a global LGBTIQ advocacy organisation fighting for rights at the United Nations. Tonight, we speak with Amie Bishop – a Senior Research Advisor with OutRight Action International and author of a new report, Vulnerability Amplified: The Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on LGBTIQ People.
