Diana Sarosi, Director of Policy and Campaigns and Brittany Lambert, Women's Rights Specialist, addressed the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development (FAAE) about the impact of vaccine inequality on poorer nations.

COVID-19 has shattered the world’s weakest economies, destroying livelihoods and making global hunger skyrocket. In 2021, 163 million people were pushed into poverty because of the pandemic. These same countries have struggled to access vaccines. In 2021, more than 80 per cent of all vaccines went to G20 countries, while less than 1 per cent reached low-income countries.
