A/HRC/58/69 (d) States should expand access to education in minority languages through mother tongue instruction and bilingual or multilingual programmes; (e) States should support minority-led non-governmental schools, based on human rights principles, enabling them to offer free and culturally relevant education aimed at preserving and promoting the cultural, linguistic and religious identities of minorities; (f) States should promote the recruitment and training of educators from minority communities, along with culturally responsive teacher training for all educators, to ensure better representation of persons belonging to minorities in the educational community and to promote understanding and responsiveness to the needs of minority students in classrooms; (g) States should implement specific programmes to address the compound challenges faced by persons with multiple intersectional identities, such as women, persons with disabilities and LGBTI persons who belong to minority groups: these measures could include scholarships, tailored programmes and resources to ensure equitable access to quality education for all. V. Recommendations addressing challenges to minority representation in the media, including social media 12. The Special Rapporteur proposes the following recommendation addressing challenges to minority representation in the media, including social media: (a) States should establish diversity requirements for public broadcasters and offer support to minority-led media outlets and productions; such requirements ensure proportionate and unbiased representation of minority groups in media content, promoting their cultures, histories and identities, while allowing minorities the opportunity to exercise self-representation; (b) States should dedicate appropriate funding to develop opportunities for minority-led media outlets, ensuring that they have the resources to thrive and amplify diverse voices; (c) States should enact and enforce legislation to prohibit hate speech in traditional and social media, while also monitoring and correcting algorithmic biases in social media platforms to prevent the amplification of discriminatory narratives; (d) The media and social media companies should develop clear and enforceable guidelines to counter hate speech against minorities and should be held accountable for violations of human rights on their platforms, in accordance with the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights; the media and social media companies should also develop and implement comprehensive training programmes for journalists, content creators and moderators to identify and counter hate speech; (e) States should allocate resources to develop public awareness campaigns and school programmes that educate citizens about harmful bias against minority groups; such campaigns should highlight the positive aspects of diversity and emphasize how differences enrich societies, fostering mutual respect and coexistence; (f) The media and social media platforms should actively promote diversity by ensuring diverse representation in content creation, advertising and leadership roles, as well as leveraging algorithms to amplify content from underrepresented groups; (g) Independent bodies should be established at the national level to monitor media content for bias, misinformation and hate speech; civil society organizations should complement those efforts by tracking representation trends and advocating media practices that promote and represent diversity in society and self-representation of minorities.
