- States should take concrete measures to eliminate racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance in the workplace against all workers, in particular Africans and people of African descent, including migrants and women, and ensure the full equality of all before the law, including labour law. States should ensure that workers' rights of people of African descent, including those relating to fair and equal wages, are protected, by increasing the effectiveness of legislation that prohibits all discriminatory practices in employment and the labour market that affect people of African descent, including through the implementation of special measures to promote the employment of people of African descent in public administration, as well as in private companies, including affirmative action policies such as quota systems.
