Award Theme

While some governments have gone on to implement social distance with state of emergency regulations, others have approached this issue as a matter of individual preference and have chosen to persuade their citizens to isolate themselves and have achieved different rates of success. The success of government policies in the fight against pandemics has become increasingly dependent on the behavior of citizens. Civil activism is constrained by the decline in citizens' ability to gather, organize, and intervene. Nevertheless, new civil society actors and a new type of civil activism have emerged to provide basic services such as food and mask, to prevent the spread of inaccurate and harmful information, and to protect disadvantaged and marginalized groups.
