The purpose of this paper is to (1) examine global human rights disparities that were acutely revealed or exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and (2) explore ways that the identification of disparities and lessons learned during the pandemic offer opportunities for social work education. The article begins with an overview of global human rights in the categories of gender, children, race/ethnicity, environment, and socioeconomic status. The use of an intersectionality framework is then suggested as one lens for examining lessons learned during the pandemic to improve our global preparation and response. We do not want to wait for the next crisis to find populations with the same human rights vulnerability.

本文的目的是 (1) 审视因 COVID-19 大流行而急剧暴露或加剧的全球人权差距，以及 (2) 探索如何识别大流行期间的差距和吸取的教训，为社会工作教育提供机会。本文首先概述了性别、儿童、种族/族裔、环境和社会经济地位等方面的全球人权。然后建议使用交叉框架作为审查大流行期间吸取的经验教训的一个镜头，以改善我们的全球准备和应对措施。我们不想等到下一次危机才发现同样存在人权脆弱性的人群。
