Greenland experienced a 5-week lockdown during the COVID-19 crisis. The lockdown effectively took out all public social support and food supply for people experiencing homelessness in the capital Nuuk. This woke up Greenland’s social conscience in the form of a local NGO’s mobilization of voluntary social helpers. Luckily nobody in the homeless environment got infected and suffered needlessly. From a social policy perspective, we can take three experiences away from the pandemic. Firstly, a clear learning experience from this crisis was the need to redefine the broad societal understanding of Greenland a country with a universal welfare system. The second experience was that social work comes in many shapes and forms. Finally, the experience illustrated what could take place when the political and administrative system are too slow to react in times of crisis. It kickstarted the civil society step up and help fellow citizens. In the end NGO’s need to reports back and inform the public system to ensure better social emergency response in the future.

Tilioq og Ilisimatusarfiks ny landsdækkende forskningsundersøgelse "Holdninger Til Handicap" viser, at personer med handicap har sværere ved at få et arbejde og tager i mindre grad en uddannelse end personer uden handicap. Derudover viser undersøgelser også at befolkningen ønsker ikke en arbejdsgiver som har et handicap.

Vi er tryggest ved det handicap, vi kan se – usynlige handicap, skal vi arbejde på at forstå. Det viser en ny landsdækkende forskningsundersøgelse »Holdninger til Handicap«, som Tilioq og Ilisimatusarfik lancerer 17. november.
