“Minister Furbert was asked to be a panelist at the sessions entitled ‘Adaptive Social Protection Systems to Build Resilience’.

She explained that social protection includes the range of policies and programs that protect people from poverty and insecurity and how in Bermuda, the social safety nets have included financial assistance, unemployment benefits to healthcare support for seniors.
