Violence against indigenous women and girls; rights of indigenous peoples in relation to extractive industries 2012, para. 21
Párrafo
Paragraph text
The issue of violence against indigenous women and girls has arisen in the context of the Special Rapporteur's country visits, in particular to the United States, and in his examination of specific cases. It was also the subject of the expert seminar convened by Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues referred to above, in which the Special Rapporteur participated (see para. 6). The expert seminar took as its point of departure article 22 of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, under which States are to "take measures, in conjunction with indigenous peoples, to ensure that indigenous women and children enjoy the full protection and guarantees against all forms of violence and discrimination".
