• Human rights tools can be used to address systemic racism in USAID host countries 
• Social movements about injustice and exclusion can shift public opinion and social norms
• Civilian policing and inclusive rule of law protect minority rights in a democratic society
• Supporting civil society in politically restrictive environments can protect minority rights
