The purpose of this session is to raise awareness about the growing threat of the far right and hear from trade unionists in India, Brazil and the US - where there are elected leaders promoting racist narratives - as well to give an overview of the global situation.

In the current context of the Covid-19 pandemic, it is also relevant to explore how authoritarian regimes are using the crisis to further crack down on rights and promote harmful anti-migrant and racist narratives.
