A/HRC/41/54 and non-State actors should take seriously community-based resistance to extractivism and should understand this opposition and resistance as human rightsbased resistance to global neo-liberal economic structures that continue to reinforce racial, ethnic and gender inequality. Rather than criminalize resistance, State and non-State actors should work with affected communities to develop sustainable and just alternatives to the status quo. 67. Reject colour-blindness and gender blindness: all participants in the extractivism economy should reject a colour-blind or gender-blind approach that ignores the persisting structural and individualized racial discrimination in the operation of such an economy. States, corporations, multilateral organizations and human rights actors must all take seriously the substantive approach to racial equality articulated in the present report and work to diminish the impact that race, ethnicity, national origin and gender have on the human rights situation of many within the extractivism economy. 20
