Rights of indigenous peoples, including their economic, social and cultural rights in the post-2015 development framework 2014, para. 62
Paragraphe
Paragraph text
In the area of health, persisting inequities in health status is an unfortunate commonality for all of the world's indigenous peoples, with gaps not only in health status, but also in many determinants of health. Women and children face additional vulnerabilities. These are rooted in situations of extreme poverty, lack of access to education and social services, destruction of indigenous economies and sociopolitical structures, forced displacement, armed conflict and loss and degradation of customary lands and resources, all of which are further compounded by structural racism and discrimination.
