Development and people of African descent 2015, para. 68

Paragraph
Paragraph text
The Working Group urges States to incorporate a gender perspective in all programmes of action against racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance. States, international organizations, NGOs and the private sector should consult and involve women of African descent, through a participatory and inclusive approach, in the processes and decisions relating to the elaboration and implementation of programmes and plans aimed at their social development. States should ensure that development paradigms focus on equity and equality, where issues of gender, masculinity and femininity ultimately become issues of human rights and human dignity.
