COVID-19 Mitigation During TLS
The Coalition to Stop Violence Against Native Women (CSVANW) understands that Indigenous peoples have been disproportionately affected by the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Covid-19 poses a critical health threat to Indigenous peoples and has exacerbated pre-existing inequalities and systemic racism. This has continued to create challenges such as inadequate access to health care. Due to this unfortunate socioeconomic consequence, Indigenous children, peoples with disabilities and elders have been hit particularly hard. According to the Human Rights Council, Indigenous peoples are more likely to die due to the contraction of the Coronavirus.
As Indigenous leaders and advocates it is imperative that we continue to take action and precautions to reduce the transmission of COVID-19 in our communities. Therefore, in order to host a safe environment for our 2023 Tribal Leaders Summit, CSVANW has decided to implement mandatory mask wearing during the 2-day event. This will also include safe practices:
Before the Summit
Testing before attendance
Packing hand sanitizers
CSVANW will also have PPE available at registration
During the Summit
Mandatory mask wearing
Social distancing
Hand washing
CSVANW will have air purifier equipment in shared spaces
After the Summit
Reporting positive COVID-19 results
Or in close proximity of someone who has tested positive for COVID-19
It is important to remember that Community Care is a shared responsibility. For more details on COVID-19 Mitigation tips please check out the National Indigenous Women’s Resource Center’s COVID-19 Mitigation: Work Place Community Care Toolkit.
