Shocked to see so many evictions during the pandemic, from Brazil to Pakistan to Bahamas. This scourge must be halted now if only in the interest of global public health - evictions can become super spreader events. They are also inhuman and a grave violation of human rights.

Despite the grave public health emergency due to the second wave of #COVID19 in India, demolition of homes in low-income settlements have continued, rendering people #homeless. Urgent need for a national moratorium on #ForcedEvictions for any reason, during the pandemic & beyond.

I am glad to share my first op-ed as UN Special Rapporteur, published by the @washingtonpost. The #COVID19 pandemic shows why we need to treat housing as a human right: tinyurl.com/y7wol8kg
