Starting now! "The Wake-Up Call: Building Trust and Rewiring Institutions in a New Social Contract" kicks off day 7 of the @SIPRIorg #SthlmForum. Join us at #SDG16Plus #EndInequality #PeaceInOurCities
. @LivToerres opens the panel highlighting the uncertain situation we are all in with #COVID19 - we are learning every day that trust & social cohesion are more important than ever to help us #BuildABridgeToBetter to reduce violence globally #SDG16Plus #SthlmForum
Former AG of Bahamas, @beboldbahamas highlights need for a transparent & accountable justice system amidst #COVID19, particularly w emergency measures in place. The @SDG16Plus #JusticeForAll report calls for increased access to justice to all marginalized populations #SthlmForum
"We will recover better if we have inclusive & sustainable models of development." @beboldbahamas emphasizes the need for the justice system to adapt per the UN's call, to ensure #JusticeForAll: we need virtual, resourced & accessible justice systems #SthlmForum
Dir of Global Programs at @Int_IDEA, @LauraLThornton speaks to trust between citizens & their governments before & during #COVID19. It's an opportunity to strengthen our governance structures & make sure institutions are responsive now & in future pandemics #SthlmForum @SIPRIorg
"There's a governance crisis at the same time as a #COVID19 public health crisis" @LauraLThornton highlights that we need to work as global community to invest in greater state capacity that is responsive to citizens' needs for inclusive democratic processes #SthlmForum @Int_IDEA
. @msrlocke focuses on trust in cities & urban spaces, & what this means for violence. #COVID19 exacerbates existing disparities in cities, particularly police-community relationships, & we see this across the #US, #Kenya, #Philippines #PeaceInOurCities #SthlmForum
When it comes to police-community trust, "disparities in how people are treated by & therefore perceive their public sector institutions mirror societal inequalities, whether those be racial, economic, geographic, gendered, or a combo." @msrlocke @SIPRIorg #SthlmForum #SDG16Plus
We're seeing the protest & social movement sectors adapting during #COVID19 - the power & integrity of calls for inclusive govts have moved to online spaces or have adapted to social distancing in order to maintain their momentum - particularly in cities @msrlocke #SthlmForum
Through our #PeaceInOurCities work, we're seeing cities as intermediaries between their civilians & national governments amidst #COVID19, working w activists & social leaders to reduce violence in #Oakland, #Palmira, & more @msrlocke #SthlmForum #SDG16Plus #JusticeForAll
. @beboldbahamas "We all have to find ways to pursue #justice in its purest sense - we have to be people centered, everyone has to feel that they have access to justice & that they are being heard." This isn't new, but #COVID19 has emphasized how important this is. #SthlmForum
"It's not just trust in government, but trust in community - trust in each other makes people more #resilient to crises like #COVID19." @Int_IDEA's @LauraLThornton highlights the need to work for the long haul on building resiliency within communities #SthlmForum @SIPRIorg
. @SweMFA's @Elinorjbh brings us all together: although we are in the middle of a public health crisis with #COVID19, we need to not lose sight of the other challenges we have been facing & continue to face - #conflict, environmental problems, #inequality #SthlmForum @SIPRIorg
We have a real issue looking ahead - how do we address human rights violations that have taken place during #COVID19 in forms of inequality & domestic violence? Those who were vulnerable prior to the crisis have been at heightened risk @Elinorjbh of @SweMFA #SthlmForum @SIPRIorg
. @LivToerres: trust & social institutions that deliver are crucial to responding to new challenges in the #COVID19 era. Brava to all the experts! @msrlocke, @LauraLThornton of @Int_IDEA, former AG @beboldbahamas, @Elinorjbh of @SweMFA for a wonderful #SthlmForum @SIPRIorg panel
