[Barf Alert] U.N. Conference On Role of Religious Leaders In Addressing COVID-19 Crisis

Yesterday, the United Nations General Assembly held a video conference on The Role of Religious Leaders In Addressing the Multiple Challenges of COVID-19. Here is background on the conference and a list of speakers. Here is a video of the entire 3-hour Conference. In his remarks (full text), U.N. Secretary General António Guterres said in part:

[W]e continue to see conflicts rage in many places — along with a rise in ethno-nationalism, stigma and hate speech targeting vulnerable communities and exacerbating suffering.  Meanwhile, extremists and radical groups are seeking to exploit eroding trust in leadership and feed on people’s vulnerability to serve their own ends.
 I ask faith leaders to actively challenge inaccurate and harmful messages, and encourage all communities to promote non-violence and reject xenophobia, racism and all forms of intolerance....
 Across the globe we are seeing an alarming increase in violence against women and girls as this pandemic spreads.... I appeal to religious leaders to categorically condemn such acts....
 [A]s we fight the spread of disinformation and misinformation, I ask religious leaders to leverage your networks and communication capacities to support governments in promoting WHO-recommended public health measures — from physical distancing to good hygiene — and to ensure that faith-based activities, including worship, religious ceremonies and burial practices, comply with these measures.

I can think of only one "cult" guilty of the above accusation.

[A]s we fight the spread of disinformation and misinformation, I ask religious leaders to leverage your networks and communication capacities to support governments in promoting WHO — from physical distancing to good hygiene — and to ensure that faith-based activities, including worship, religious ceremonies and burial practices, comply with these measures.

Mothers are beating their kids but the UN doesn’t care about child abuse and rapes kids themselves.

“Parental perceptions of their children change under extreme parental stress, which then leads to increased risk for child abuse and maltreatment,” Moore said.

Instances of child abuse, especially brain injuries, increase during natural disasters, said Moore, who believes similar behaviors will be repeated during COVID-19.

Let's not forget, the U.N. is a huge promoter of abortion on demand on a world-wide level.

I’m just tired of the “women and girls and minorities suffer most” rhetoric.

Around the world everyone treats everyone horribly and a Westerner who goes to some of these places is reviled as “el gringo” or gaijin or whatever.

And with regards to “Me Too” men and boys get raped and molested as well. I don’t see Hollywood up in arms about any school teachers.

I don't get why we'd want to support WHO. The WHO made the disastrous decision to oppose travel restrictions from China and other countries—despite applauding travel restrictions within China itself—leading to further spread of the virus internationally.

They KNEW this and they kept supporting the Chinese cover-up anyway

The UN and WHO are no better than an anti-Christ. One world government is their goal.

Unfortunately, Pope Francis is a huge promoter of both the W.H.O. and the U.N.
