Make Afro-descendants more statistically visible.




Societies around the world are increasingly recognizing the role structural racism plays in driving social, economic and political inequalities; several countries have made racial profiling and discrimination illegal and have introduced policies to promote the rights and choices for people of African descent.

Governments have accelerated their efforts to make Afro-descendants more statistically visible in order to address historical injustices and to bridge gaps in access to health care, social services and opportunities.

Further action, political will and investments are needed to end inequalities and ensure the full empowerment of people of African descent.
