HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION | A FAIR GO FOR A L L ?
Systemic analysis
This section examines four key systems – health, education,
justice and the public service – and analyses the ways in
which structural discrimination manifests in each of them.68
Each systemic overview is followed by a case-study or
case-studies of government initiatives that either explicitly
or implicitly address issues of structural discrimination
within each of the systems. Each case study offers key
factors for success and factors for sustainability.
The Commission cautions, however, that these initiatives
are not discussed as the model for success, nor a “silver
bullet” solution to the complex manifestations of structural
discrimination. They are simply promising approaches. In
some instances where the initiatives are recent, there has
not been sufficient evaluation to offer conclusive evidence
of their impact. Nonetheless, they offer a place to start.
There are many other promising initiatives that are not
mentioned here. The Commission will continue to gather
examples of good practice and useful resources and
publicise them through a dedicated web resource.
