Item 3: Legal and Structural Approaches to More Inclusive Societies
Under this item, the Forum will explore legislation, policies and the
provision of public goods and services that respect the rights of persons
belonging to minority groups to equality without discrimination. It will
address access to health care and educational and economic inequalities,
including through proportionate investment in infrastructure or
development, examine how legislation can increase opportunities that
honour and represent minority identities and discuss the importance of
ensuring equal access without discrimination to technology and fostering
digital literacy within minority communities.
