A/HRC/4/9 page 25 (c) Strengthen the legal and regulatory framework for addressing direct and indirect discrimination in both public and private spheres. Effective non-discrimination laws in key sectors such as employment and education can reduce obstacles that minorities face in overcoming poverty. Remedies and recourse procedures in discrimination cases should be readily accessible to minorities with penalties that are substantial and vigorously enforced. (d) Adopt targeted and aggressive affirmative action policies for addressing the social exclusion of minorities, including a specific social and economic development plan for all marginalized groups. Affirmative action programmes should include the private sector as well as the public sector. (e) Establish monitoring and evaluation mechanisms that can effectively measure the results of poverty reduction strategies that target minorities. (f) Ensure that the MDG Country Reports and PRSPs, systematically reflect the situation of minorities, and that all review procedures monitor the impact of policies on minorities. Data disaggregated by social group and gender should be included in all PRSPs and MDG Country Reports. 105. Long-term success in poverty reduction for minorities requires an investment in tackling the root causes. In particular, States should consider measures in the following key areas: (a) Education: Measures should include; addressing situations that result in segregation of minority children into different classrooms or facilities on the basis of their identity; increased access to education in mother-tongue languages; consideration of targeted financial assistance, or reserved places in secondary and higher education; curriculum development to reflect human rights education, minority cultures, and contributions of minorities to wider society. (b) Employment: Measures to promote minority access to employment should include targeted skills training, investment in regions where minorities live, robust enforcement of anti-discrimination laws with respect to hiring, promotion and retention of minorities in the labour sector, penalties for violations of such laws that are sufficiently harsh to be a deterrent, targeted credit schemes and other support for small businesses. Affirmative action measures in public and private sector employment should be implemented to address long-term discrimination and exclusion of minorities. (c) Land and property rights: Governments should adopt and enforce laws that safeguard the equal rights of minorities to land and property. Land laws should recognize a variety of forms of ownership, both individual and collective. Minorities should be enabled to register legal title to their land. Legal remedy and/or compensation should be made available to those previously displaced from their homes or traditional lands. The rights of women belonging to minority groups to own and inherit land must be equal to that of men.
