- Paragraph text
- [Overcoming discrimination against indigenous peoples, and indigenous women in particular, will require concerted efforts and, in many cases, special measures. The Special Rapporteur expresses her hope that the global community is ready to take the necessary steps to end the historical injustices committed against indigenous peoples, and provides the following recommendations to that effect:] The universality of the proposed sustainable development goals is a unique opportunity to highlight and address existing inequalities between the indigenous and non-indigenous sectors of the population in all countries across the globe. In order to monitor discrimination, recurrent data gathering processes, such as population and housing censuses, should disaggregate data, using self-identification as a key criterion for the identification of indigenous peoples. Additional specific indicators and related data-gathering processes should be developed to monitor essential aspects of indigenous peoples' self-determined development, such as security of tenure with regard to lands, territories and natural resources;
