Paragraph
Paragraph text
The Working Group concludes that inequalities are deeply entrenched in structural barriers that intersect and reinforce each other. Given their cross-cutting nature, the goals and targets will not be met if we do not acknowledge that racism, racial discrimination, Afrophobia, xenophobia and related intolerance will continue to function as structural and systemic barriers to sustainable development for people of African descent.
