## Practices

> * Develop and implement design protocols that recognize and respect the diverse identities of ethnic, religious, gender, and other minorities, ensuring these identities are accurately represented in DPI systems.
> * Incorporate specific design measures that ensure accessibility for Persons Living with Disabilities, including features like screen readers, voice commands, and easy-to-navigate interfaces.
> * Develop legal guarantees that ensure the recognition of diverse identities in official identity documents.
