澳大利亚人权委员会报告：种族主义经历被严重漏计，吁制定国家反种族主义数据计划等16项改革
澳大利亚人权委员会10月28日在悉尼发布范围界定报告《为改变而数据：反种族主义数据的全国路径》，指出澳大利亚关于种族与种族主义的数据零散、各处收集口径不一，许多人的种族主义经历被严重漏计或抹去，限制了社会对种族主义全貌及其影响的理解；报告向政府、民间组织与企业提出16项建议。
种族歧视专员 Giridharan Sivaraman 说：「我们每天都从各社区听到种族主义的毁灭性影响。但许多经历没有被报告或被统计，我们的系统往往捕捉不到全貌。这不是为了收集更多数据来证明种族主义存在，我们已经知道它存在；而是要让不平等变得可见，让机构负起责任，让社区对自己的数据有更大的主导权，从而推动真正的改变。我们人人都有安全、尊重与尊严的权利，但对许多人来说，种族主义剥夺了这些基本权利。如果我们不能正确测量它，就无法彻底消除它。」
16项建议包括：制定「国家反种族主义数据计划」，协调全国的数据收集、使用与管理；检讨关于原住民与托雷斯海峡岛民身份、文化与语言多样性数据的国家政府标准；把原住民数据主权与原住民数据治理嵌入各数据系统。
委员会表示，更强的数据可以驱动改变、确定社区需求的优先次序、衡量变化，并让政府与机构负起责任。该报告是委员会反种族主义工作的一部分，澳大利亚有超过一半人口出生于海外或父母中有一人出生于海外，全国使用350多种语言，另有167种原住民语言。
Australian Human Rights Commission: Racism Severely Undercounted, Urges National Anti-Racism Data Plan in 16 Recommendations
The Australian Human Rights Commission released a scoping report in Sydney on October 28, Data for change: A national approach to anti-racism data, finding that data on race and racism in Australia is fragmented or collected inconsistently, meaning people's experiences of racism are being severely undercounted or erased, limiting understanding of the full nature and impacts of racism. The report makes 16 recommendations to governments, civil society organisations and business.
'We hear about the devastating impacts of racism from communities every day. But many experiences go unreported or uncounted, and our systems often do not capture the full picture,' Race Discrimination Commissioner Giridharan Sivaraman said. 'This is not about collecting more data to prove racism exists. We already know it does. It is about making inequality visible, holding institutions to account and giving communities greater agency over their data to drive real change. We all have the right to safety, respect and dignity, but for many people, racism denies them these basic rights. We cannot fully dismantle racism if we cannot properly measure it.'
The recommendations include developing a National Anti-Racism Data Plan to coordinate data collection, use and management across Australia; reviewing national government standards on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander identity and cultural and linguistic diversity data; and embedding Indigenous Data Sovereignty and Indigenous Data Governance across data systems.
The Commission said stronger data can drive change, prioritise community needs, measure change and hold governments and institutions to account. More than half of Australians were born overseas or have a parent who was, and more than 350 languages are spoken in Australia, in addition to 167 Indigenous languages.
