Covid-19 and the latin american community

IRMO has produced a new report highlighting the impact of Covid-19 on the local Lambeth Latin American community. It highlights the intersecting crises of rising unemployment, abusive employment practices, housing insecurity and increasing food poverty facing the Latin American community.  1 in 7 Latin Americans are not registered with a GP. This raises important concerns about the exclusion from future health programmes such as the roll out of the COVID vaccine.

Key findings:
  • Half are out of work as a result of the pandemic
  • 1 in 7 are not registered with a GP
  • Half are experiencing financial hardship
  • 6 out of 10 are struggling to pay rent
  • A third are facing food poverty
  • 27% are not entitled to benefits
  • 4 out of 10 have no internet at home, and 15% have no devices
