A/HRC/16/46 orientation and gender identity or disability and their compounded negative impact on the women and other groups concerned. 17. Governments should ensure sufficient allocation of resources to implement fully domestic and international standards on non-discrimination. This includes sufficient resources for the development of indicators and benchmarks and for the regular monitoring of direct and indirect discrimination in access to economic and social rights. 18. Governments should ensure that there are strong penalties that are rigorously enforced for violation of laws on non-discrimination. Conversely, incentives for compliance and good practice should be meaningful. Guidelines and examples of positives practices should be easily accessible. Complaints mechanisms and remedies for violations of the right to non-discrimination by public and private sector actors and institutions should be equally accessible to persons belonging to minorities. Legal aid schemes targeting minority groups should be provided to ensure protection of their rights and access to justice. 19. Public sector employees should be provided with training on nondiscrimination and cultural awareness in delivery of Government services. Access by minorities to Government services can be improved, for example, through the provision of services in minority languages, active outreach to minority communities, and branch offices in regions where minorities predominantly live. 20. Governments should gather, analyse and regularly publish disaggregated data to measure and monitor the effective participation of minorities in economic life. Improved data collection should be made a priority with regard to employment and labour rights, poverty rates, access to social services, social security, credit and other financial services, education, vocational training and land tenure rights. Data should be benchmarked and disaggregated by, inter alia, ethnicity, language and religion, and cross-tabulated by sex, age, disability and urban-rural and/or geographical residence. 21. Data should be gathered in a manner that is consistent with the right of minorities to self-identification, using transparent methodology that is consistent with international standards on privacy protections including, inter alia, informed consent and adherence to ethical standards. The participation of minorities should be ensured in all aspects of design of methodology and collection of data. The legislative framework must provide for an effective data protection system to ensure that data are not misused to violate the rights of minorities, especially of rights to safety and freedom from violence. In this regard, better international standards and guidance for data protection should be developed. 22. Governments should value and protect the pursuit of traditional livelihood practices by minority groups. Such practices frequently add value to the wider economy but may face threats from environmental change, economic crisis or undue restrictions on activities. Pastoralists, for example, should have special protection measures for access to pasture and water; regional development initiatives could enable transborder economic activity. Governments should develop legislation and policies to promote the sustainability and welfare of pastoralist ways of life and include pastoralists, particularly women, in the development of such policies. Traditional craft industries could be afforded better market access through technology and infrastructure support. Fisher peoples should participate in policy decisions on the conservation of fish stocks and the protection of coastal regions and rivers. 6
