## Practices for Regulators 

* Create an independent oversight body with the authority to investigate complaints and ensure fair treatment.
* Implement accessible reporting channels and support services to assist individuals in filing grievances.

## Practices for Advocates 

* Develop toolkits and resources to help individuals understand and access these remedies, and create platforms for reporting and documenting issues.
* Facilitate workshops and training sessions to empower individuals and advocate for their rights.
* Build alliances with legal experts to provide pro bono assistance and amplify voices calling for justice and accountability.
