Overview of the activities carried during the first three-year term of the mandate 2011, para. 241 | 19 de ago. de 2019 | Paragraph | We are committed to promote the equal access of women and girls to education, basic services, economic opportunities and health-care services, including addressing women's sexual and reproductive health, and ensuring universal access to safe, effective, affordable and acceptable modern methods of family planning. In this regard, we reaffirm our commitment to implement the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development and the key actions for the further implementation of the Programme of Action. | Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples | Special Procedures' report |

Violence against indigenous women and girls; rights of indigenous peoples in relation to extractive industries 2012, para. 21 | 19 de ago. de 2019 | Paragraph | 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". | Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples | Special Procedures' report |

Overview of the activities carried during the first three-year term of the mandate 2011, para. 238 | 19 de ago. de 2019 | Paragraph | We resolve to unlock the potential of women as drivers of sustainable development, including through the repeal of discriminatory laws and the removal of formal barriers, ensuring equal access to justice and legal support, the reform of institutions to ensure competence and capacity for gender mainstreaming and the development and adoption of innovative and special approaches to address informal, harmful practices that act as barriers to gender equality. In this regard, we commit to creating an enabling environment for improving the situation of women and girls everywhere, particularly in rural areas and local communities and among indigenous peoples and ethnic minorities. | Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples | Special Procedures' report |

Violence against indigenous women and girls; rights of indigenous peoples in relation to extractive industries 2012, para. 33 | 19 de ago. de 2019 | Paragraph | Third, there is a need for indigenous peoples themselves to continue to strengthen their own organizational and local governance capacity, and their own justice institutions, to meet the challenges faced by their communities. Indigenous peoples have a responsibility to work to rebuild strong and healthy relationships within their families and communities, and to take concerted measures to address social ills where these exist. Within their households, their communities and the broader people of which they are a part, indigenous peoples must challenge and combat any existing patriarchal social structures, continued attitudes of superiority of men over women and supposed justifications based on culture for battering or discriminating against women. In this connection, indigenous peoples must make concerted efforts to strengthen their own traditional justice systems, where these fall short of providing effective remedies to punish and prevent violence against indigenous women and girls in accordance with relevant human rights standards. | Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples | Special Procedures' report |
|

Violence against indigenous women and girls; rights of indigenous peoples in relation to extractive industries 2012, para. 28 | 19 de ago. de 2019 | Paragraph | Combating violence against indigenous women and girls therefore requires remedying the structural legacies of colonialism and discrimination that indigenous peoples have faced. This includes advancing the range of rights guaranteed for indigenous peoples, most prominently those enshrined in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. The Special Rapporteur observes that the standards affirmed in the Declaration share an essentially remedial character, seeking to redress the systemic obstacles and discrimination that indigenous peoples have faced in their enjoyment of basic human rights. From this perspective, it is important to note that the Declaration does not seek to bestow indigenous peoples with a set of special or new human rights, but rather provides a contextualized elaboration of general human rights principles and rights as they relate to the specific historical, cultural and social circumstances of indigenous peoples, including the situation of indigenous women and girls. | Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples | Special Procedures' report |

Violence against indigenous women and girls; rights of indigenous peoples in relation to extractive industries 2012, para. 23 | 19 de ago. de 2019 | Paragraph | Throughout his work, the Special Rapporteur has heard compelling stories of suffering of indigenous women and girls caused by violence, and inspiring stories of perseverance and of steps to overcome that suffering. | Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples | Special Procedures' report |

Rights of indigenous women and girls 2015, para. 62b | 19 de ago. de 2019 | Paragraph | [Gaps and weaknesses in some human rights and development monitoring mechanisms include:] Failure to discuss the role that intersecting forms of vulnerability and discrimination plays in violations of the rights of indigenous women and girls; | Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples | Special Procedures' report |
|
| 2015 | ||
Rights of indigenous women and girls 2015, para. 48 | 19 de ago. de 2019 | Paragraph | The variety of forms of sexual violence reflects, to some extent, the different experiences of indigenous women and girls around the world. It also reflects the multidimensional ways in which indigenous women are vulnerable to violence and the severe threat of revictimization. | Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples | Special Procedures' report |
|

Violence against indigenous women and girls; rights of indigenous peoples in relation to extractive industries 2012, para. 30 | 19 de ago. de 2019 | Paragraph | In this connection, the Special Rapporteur would like to mention three specific ways in which indigenous self-determination may be enhanced in the context of combating violence against women and girls. While the following points are, of course, not exhaustive, they provide some reflections on the measures needed by States and indigenous peoples themselves to address concerns in this regard. | Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples | Special Procedures' report |

Violence against indigenous women and girls; rights of indigenous peoples in relation to extractive industries 2012, para. 29 | 19 de ago. de 2019 | Paragraph | A holistic approach to combating violence against women and girls therefore should include, in accordance with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, advancing indigenous peoples' autonomy and self-governance (articles 5 and 18); strengthening indigenous peoples' traditional justice systems (articles 34 and 35); increasing indigenous peoples' access to justice (article 40); and improving indigenous peoples' economic and social conditions (article 21). Stated comprehensively, tackling violence against indigenous women must in some way go along with advancing indigenous peoples' self-determination. As Special Rapporteur and others have stressed, the right to self-determination, which is affirmed for indigenous peoples in article 3 of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, is a foundational right, without which the full range of indigenous peoples' human rights, both collective and individual, cannot be fully enjoyed. Enhancing indigenous self-determination is conducive to successful practical outcomes; studies have shown that indigenous peoples who effectively manage their own affairs tend to fare better across a range of indicators than those who do not. | Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples | Special Procedures' report |

Rights of indigenous women and girls 2015, para. 37 | 19 de ago. de 2019 | Paragraph | Indigenous women and girls experience racism and racial discrimination as members of indigenous communities. Such violations of their rights also increase their vulnerability to other human rights abuses, as they are part of the intersecting forms of discrimination and inequality that they face. | Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples | Special Procedures' report |
|
| 2015 | ||
Rights of indigenous women and girls 2015, para. 53a | 19 de ago. de 2019 | Paragraph | [Examples of violence against women in a military context include the following:] In Colombia, indigenous women and girls are commonly subjected to patterns of rape, forced prostitution and exploitation in the context of occupation of indigenous land; | Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples | Special Procedures' report |
|
| 2015 | ||
Rights of indigenous women and girls 2015, para. 52 | 19 de ago. de 2019 | Paragraph | As noted by the Rapporteur on the Rights of Women of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, the situation of indigenous women and girls is particularly critical in the context of armed conflict, given that they are already exposed to multiple forms of discrimination. That again shows the impact that intersecting forms of inequality and discrimination can have on indigenous women. | Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples | Special Procedures' report |
|

Rights of indigenous women and girls 2015, para. 10 | 19 de ago. de 2019 | Paragraph | To contribute to addressing any continuing gaps in monitoring and implementing the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Issues, the Special Rapporteur dedicates the present report to the issue of indigenous women and girl's rights. While recognizing the great diversity in the experiences of indigenous women, she will take a global approach, focusing on common themes and patterns experienced by indigenous women across regions. The Special Rapporteur will highlight examples of specific rights violations and issues from different countries, which are illustrative but not exhaustive. In analysing the situation of indigenous women, she will consider both the gendered forms of violations against indigenous women and the gendered effects of human rights abuses that target indigenous communities as a whole. In that way, the Special Rapporteur hopes that the forms of oppression, discrimination and violence that indigenous women face -because they are women and because they are indigenous - can be better understood. | Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples | Special Procedures' report |

Rights of indigenous women and girls 2015, para. 35 | 19 de ago. de 2019 | Paragraph | Abuses of indigenous people's cultural rights are endemic, owing to a sustained unwillingness on the part of many States to celebrate indigenous culture or to promote the use of indigenous languages in schools as part of the cultural diversity of citizens within their borders. That has a cross-cutting effect on the rights of indigenous women and children. Lack of respect for indigenous cultures is evident across all violations of indigenous peoples and is a fundamental part of the experiences of indigenous women and girls. The commodification of the cultures and cultural heritage of indigenous peoples is a common experience for many indigenous peoples. For example, indigenous territories have been declared World Heritage Sites without their free, prior and informed consent, thereby turning them into tourist areas. In most cases, the people who reap the biggest benefits are foreign or national travel and tour agencies or hotel owners. In those cases, indigenous women often end up as menial employees or entertainers for tourists. At worst, prostitution is encouraged and criminal syndicates promote trafficking of indigenous women and girls. | Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples | Special Procedures' report |
|
| 2015 | ||
Rights of indigenous women and girls 2015, para. 54 | 19 de ago. de 2019 | Paragraph | As discussed by the Special Rapporteur on violence against women, its causes and consequences in her 2007 thematic report, culture-based identity politics can be used to justify violence against women in the name of traditional practices and/or values. Practices commonly carried out in the name of tradition, such as female gender mutilation and child marriage, impact some but not all indigenous communities. The fact that those traditional practices cut across religious, geographical and ethnic characteristics demonstrate that there are multidimensional causal factors and that no one factor attributed to the identity of women makes them vulnerable. Violations suffered by indigenous women and girls must be viewed within the context of the broad spectrum of violations experienced and their specific vulnerabilities as members of indigenous communities. | Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples | Special Procedures' report |
|

Rights of indigenous women and girls 2015, para. 60b | 19 de ago. de 2019 | Paragraph | [Compelled by economic need, armed conflict and denial of self-determination and land rights in the context of major economic development projects, many indigenous peoples migrate from their home communities in rural areas to urban centres. Indigenous women and girls who leave their communities are highly vulnerable to trafficking, which can lead to multiple violations of their human rights, including severe economic and sexual exploitation and sexual violence. There are also cases of indigenous women being targeted by organized traffickers within their own communities. Reports of trafficking of indigenous women and children include the following:] In a number of Asian countries, including Cambodia, India, Nepal and Thailand, indigenous women are trafficked from their communities into domestic servitude or forced prostitution; | Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples | Special Procedures' report |
|
| 2015 | ||
Rights of indigenous women and girls 2015, para. 8 | 19 de ago. de 2019 | Paragraph | Despite the progress made, systematic attention to the specific vulnerability of indigenous women has remained limited in relation to the scale of abuses against them. Furthermore, what international attention has been given to the issue has not sufficiently focused on the nexus between individual and collective rights, nor on how intersecting forms of discrimination and vulnerability contribute to ongoing abuses of indigenous women's rights. That has created a gap that has contributed to ongoing widespread impunity in relation to the rights of indigenous women and girls. | Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples | Special Procedures' report |
|

Rights of indigenous women and girls 2015, para. 60a | 19 de ago. de 2019 | Paragraph | [Compelled by economic need, armed conflict and denial of self-determination and land rights in the context of major economic development projects, many indigenous peoples migrate from their home communities in rural areas to urban centres. Indigenous women and girls who leave their communities are highly vulnerable to trafficking, which can lead to multiple violations of their human rights, including severe economic and sexual exploitation and sexual violence. There are also cases of indigenous women being targeted by organized traffickers within their own communities. Reports of trafficking of indigenous women and children include the following:] In the Miskitu communities of Nicaragua, indigenous women have reported the phenomenon of selling and trafficking of indigenous girls and boys, citing communitarian violence as the cause; | Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples | Special Procedures' report |
|
| 2015 | ||
Rights of indigenous women and girls 2015, para. 28 | 19 de ago. de 2019 | Paragraph | In that connection, indigenous girls tend to be more disadvantaged than indigenous boys. In additional to the factors impacting overall indigenous dropout rates, girls can experience a number of additional barriers. Firstly, their role within communities often means that they are expected to help with domestic and care responsibilities. Secondly, indigenous girls may also be subjected to child marriage, so that their roles as wives and sometimes child bearers mean that they have to leave school. Thirdly, indigenous girls may face the risk of sexual violence and rape during long journeys to school, as evidenced in the report of the Working Group on Discrimination against Women in Law and in Practice on its visit to Peru. The significance of this barrier to education is exacerbated by the presence of legislation in some States that prohibits women and girls from being able to seek abortion services, even if they become pregnant following rape. | Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples | Special Procedures' report |
|
| 2015 | ||
Rights of indigenous women and girls 2015, para. 56 | 19 de ago. de 2019 | Paragraph | Similarly, little disaggregated information is available about the specific dynamics of child marriage in indigenous communities, but it is known to take place in some communities. Much of the literature on child marriage demonstrates a strong link with poverty, therefore, the broader human rights violations of indigenous women and girls are likely to be strong causal factors for child marriage. Child marriage is not only a form of violence, but also a violation of the child's rights to education and family life. Child marriage can also lead to violations of the rights to life and health, as young girls often experience complications with pregnancy and childbirth, which can result in death. In addition, child marriage creates vulnerability to marital rape. | Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples | Special Procedures' report |
|
| 2015 | ||
Rights of indigenous women and girls 2015, para. 46 | 19 de ago. de 2019 | Paragraph | The issue of violence against women is indivisibly linked to the categories of rights discussed above. In fact, the endemic violations of collective, civil and political, and economic, social and cultural rights can be seen as constituting a form of structural violence against indigenous women and girls. Structural violence results in women being victimized by the realities of the circumstances of their everyday life and routinely excluded from the rights and resources otherwise guaranteed to citizens. Structural violence is interlinked and mutually reinforcing with other forms of violence, as discussed below. | Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples | Special Procedures' report |
|
| 2015 | ||
Rights of indigenous women and girls 2015, para. 55 | 19 de ago. de 2019 | Paragraph | The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that between 100 million and 140 million women and girls worldwide have been subjected to female gender mutilation. Female genital mutilation has been documented mainly in Africa, but also in some countries in the Middle East, Asia, and Central and South America. As recognized by WHO, there are no benefits to female genital mutilation; in fact, the procedure can have many negative consequences for women, including infection, complications in childbirth, pain, infertility and cysts, as well as their overall disempowerment within society. There is very little information about the prevalence and drivers of female genital mutilation among indigenous communities, but it is known to take place in some but not all indigenous communities. | Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples | Special Procedures' report |

Rights of indigenous women and girls 2015, para. 72a | 19 de ago. de 2019 | Paragraph | [Despite the significant constraints facing them, there are many instances where indigenous women having successfully mobilized to fight for their rights. Those successes have led to the development of promising practices in relation to the respect and protection of indigenous women. The following examples of good practice are illustrative and not exhaustive:] As observed by the Special Rapporteur on violence against women, its causes and consequences, the tribal justice system of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians in the United States has an effective infrastructure to provide safety of women within their jurisdiction, including dedicated codes to address domestic violence and training for personnel of tribal law enforcement authorities, tribal courts, prosecutors and probation officers. Furthermore, tribal courts have ordered that offenders enrol in re-education programmes and tribes support programmes to encourage boys and young men to respect women; | Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples | Special Procedures' report |
|

Rights of indigenous women and girls 2015, para. 47a | 19 de ago. de 2019 | Paragraph | [Indigenous women are significantly more likely to experience rape than non-indigenous women. It has been estimated that more than one in three indigenous women are raped during their lifetime. Behind these shocking statistics are multiple forms of sexual violence against indigenous women by a multitude of actors in different geographical regions. Coordinated and comparative information on sexual violence is very limited, due in part to significant underreporting and a lack of investment in disaggregated data collection that include indigenous women and communities. That makes analysis of systemic level prevalence and trends very difficult. Different forms of sexual violence have been reported, including the following:] Rape, which can be perpetrated by individuals known to the indigenous woman and girl, as a form of control, punishment and/or abuse; | Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples | Special Procedures' report |
|
| 2015 | ||
Violence against indigenous women and girls; rights of indigenous peoples in relation to extractive industries 2012, para. 27 | 19 de ago. de 2019 | Paragraph | In a similar vein, combating violence against women and girls in the indigenous context must be achieved holistically; it cannot be addressed in isolation from the range of rights recognized for indigenous peoples in general. In this regard, violence against indigenous women and girls, which is distressingly all too common across the globe, cannot be seen as separate from the history of discrimination and marginalization that has been suffered invariably by indigenous peoples. This history manifests itself in continued troubling structural factors, such as conditions of poverty, lack of access to land and resources or other means of subsistence, or poor access to education and health services, which are all factors that bear on indigenous peoples with particular consequences for indigenous women. The history of discrimination against indigenous peoples has also resulted in the deterioration of indigenous social structures and cultural traditions, and in the undermining or breakdown of indigenous governance and judicial systems, impairing in many cases the ability of indigenous peoples to respond effectively to problems of violence against women and girls within their communities. | Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples | Special Procedures' report |
|
| 2012 | ||
Rights of indigenous women and girls 2015, para. 53d | 19 de ago. de 2019 | Paragraph | [Examples of violence against women in a military context include the following:] In Fiji, India, Myanmar, Nepal, the Philippines, Thailand and Timor-Leste, the militarization of conflict over indigenous land has led to gang-rape, sexual enslavement and killing of tribal women and girls; | Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples | Special Procedures' report |
|
| 2015 | ||
Rights of indigenous peoples, including their economic, social and cultural rights in the post-2015 development framework 2014, para. 71 | 19 de ago. de 2019 | Paragraph | When looking at available socioeconomic data disaggregated by ethnicity and gender, there is no doubt that indigenous women experience particular and interrelated forms of discrimination because of their indigenous identity and their gender. Gender-based discrimination is a sad reality in most countries, and it is also found within some indigenous societies where, for example, women may not traditionally have participated in governance institutions or where girls are not encouraged to study. In short, many indigenous women still face additional gender-based discrimination, which leads to disadvantages, marginalization and, in extreme cases, to violence, physical mutilation, trafficking, prostitution and restricted access to justice. On the other hand, there is ample documentation of the strong and crucial roles played by indigenous women in many areas of life, including food production, biodiversity conservation, climate change adaptation, transmission of languages, culture and knowledge, conflict resolution and peacekeeping. | Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples | Special Procedures' report |

Ongoing obstacles to the full realization of indigenous peoples’ rights; vision for the mandate 2014, para. 52 | 19 de ago. de 2019 | Paragraph | [Clearly, existing and future economic investment and trade agreements and treaties, as well as conventions on the environment and on culture, have a direct impact on the economic, social, environmental and cultural rights of indigenous peoples. There are numerous issues that merit thematic attention. Nevertheless, in order to maximize the impact of her investigations, the Special Rapporteur intends to focus her efforts over the next three years of her mandate on issues surrounding economic, social, cultural and environmental rights of indigenous peoples, which could include, but are not limited to, the following:] Economic and social rights and other human rights issues regarding indigenous women and children in various settings, such as migration, trafficking of women and girls, violent conflicts, the informal economy, child labour, etc.; | Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples | Special Procedures' report |

Rights of indigenous women and girls 2015, para. 7 | 19 de ago. de 2019 | Paragraph | All the provisions of the Declaration apply equally to indigenous women and indigenous men. Article 22 (2) specifically provides that States shall 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. In the outcome document of the high-level plenary meeting of the General Assembly known as the World Conference on Indigenous Peoples, which focused on indigenous women, the participating Heads of State and Government, ministers and representatives of Member States invited the Human Rights Council to consider examining the causes and consequences of violence against indigenous women and girls, in consultation with the Special Rapporteur on violence against women, its causes and consequences, the Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples and other special procedures mandate holders. | Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples | Special Procedures' report |
