Violence against indigenous women and girls; rights of indigenous peoples in relation to extractive industries 2012, para. 25
Paragraph
Paragraph text
The existence and general content of these two rights regimes - women's rights and indigenous peoples' rights - is relatively well understood within many platforms of discussion, especially within the international human rights system. A question that necessarily comes to the forefront in this context, however, is how, exactly, the human rights guaranteed to indigenous women because of their status as women, and those guaranteed because of their status as indigenous, relate to or interact with one another. Linked to this is the question of the ways in which international human rights standards do or should protect indigenous women differently from non-indigenous women.
