Australian Human Rights Commission Input to 2024 UN High Commissioner for Human Rights report, pursuant to Human Rights Council resolution 47/21 31 March 2024 • • • building capacity for partnerships across society to address racism, acknowledging that it will require action from across the community, business, and government sectors; ensuring accountability mechanisms to measure progress over time in reducing the incidence of racism; and promoting community understanding of racism and acceptance of antiracism initiatives. 17. To progress the Framework development, the Commission is currently: • undertaking research and consultation with experts in the key priority areas raised in the initial scoping for the Framework. • progressing community-level consultations on the development of the Framework with First Nations and multicultural communities. FECCA, the national peak body representing Australians from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, has been commissioned to engage with multicultural communities across the nation. These will include further comprehensive consultation with African communities and people of African descent, to ensure that their concerns and priorities are reflected in the Framework. • mapping existing government programs and polices relevant to antiracism at the national, state, territory and local levels, to identify gaps and opportunities to enhance and promote existing initiatives. 18. Alongside the Framework, the Commission is also undertaking a significant anti-racism public awareness and education project. Much of these outputs are currently in development, including: • a refresh and rebrand of the Commission’s existing Racism It Stops With Me campaign • resources on racial literacy and ‘shared understandings’, about what racism, anti-racism and racial equity mean, especially in an Australian context • online and in-classroom resources for racial literacy in primary schools 19. Recent resources published as part of the public awareness and education project include: • Racism and anti-racism conversation guide 7
