4 | Recommendations ONLINE ABUSE To specifically address online abuse, FIFA and the local entities: • Draw on the guidance of the E-Safety Commissioner in Australia and Netsafe in Aotearoa New Zealand to ensure compliance and best practice by broadcast partners. • Ensure they understand their obligations under local laws including laws introduced to specifically address online abuse in the host countries. • Advocate for and work with host governments to provide for and enable the implementation of powers to take down offensive, discriminatory or abusive material. FIRST NATIONS PEOPLE To promote and ensure respectful and genuine inclusion of First Nations people in the host countries, FIFA and the local entities: • Be guided by the UNDRIP principles of self-determination, participation in decision-making, respect for and protection of culture, equality and non-discrimination as a minimum. • Consider the establishment of an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander advisory group to inform tournament activity. • Develop a partnership framework founded on Te Tiriti o Waitangi and its principles (particularly Partnership, Participation, and Protection) and informed by UNDRIP. This partnership framework should include recognition of the range of mana whenua across Aotearoa who hold authority in their local region and who will hold primary partnership relationships with FIFA for that particular region. Māori women’s leadership, rights, and unique role and status from a cultural perspective (mana wahine) must also be upheld in this partnership. • Establish a co-designed programme in partnership with local indigenous peoples (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and First Nations football stakeholders in Australia and tangata whenua, mana whenua and Māori football stakeholders in Aotearoa New Zealand), for the development of a policy regarding investment back into the community where financial benefit is generated from the FWWC2023 being held on Māori or Aboriginal land (or otherwise drawing from indigenous resources). These policies may also include targets for indigenous procurement or other involvement. See above recommendation regarding a social procurement policy. PHYSICAL SPACES & ACCESSIBILITY To ensure accessibility, FIFA and the local entities: • Work with ticketing third parties to ensure accessible access to tickets. • Work with the stadiums to ensure they meet Australian and NZ accessibility standards as a minimum, and higher standards where this is achievable. • Ensure accessibility audits of stadiums are undertaken to ensure compliance and to maximise opportunities for accessible seating. • Promote communications and technology in support of the tournament that are accessible for people with disabilities, including easy read materials (such as Easy Read, NZSL and AUSSL, Braille and Large Print). FIFA should where possible work with local providers of accessible formats. 54
