Paragraph text
In regard to the second underpinning, anti-discrimination laws and policies can appear in various forms: sometimes general, sometimes specific. Even with a law, there is a need to ensure effective practical implementation, which is correlated with the need for a holistic approach, interlinking laws and policies with responsive programming, case enforcement in the courts (coupled with strategic advocacy and litigation), effective and accessible mechanisms for human rights protection, resource allocation, information and data generation, education and capacity-building, accountability and redress, and space for networking, mobilization and participation for reform.
