Paragraph
Rights of indigenous women and girls 2015, para. 81
- Paragraph text
- [Recommendations to United Nations organizations and mechanisms] While the Special Rapporteur appreciates the attention given to the rights of indigenous peoples within the work of other United Nations mechanisms, more consistent and geographically comprehensive analysis of the fulfilment of human rights among indigenous women and girls is urgently needed. United Nations human rights mechanisms should direct additional attention to the nexus between individual and collective rights and how that impacts indigenous women and girls, as well as how intersecting forms of discrimination and vulnerability impact human rights violations.

Paragraph
Rights of indigenous women and girls 2015, para. 74
- Paragraph text
- Despite the severity and regularity of violations of the rights of indigenous women, the attention of much of the United Nations human rights and development policy architecture has been limited. Gaps and weaknesses in analysis include a lack of geographical balance, limited inclusion of collective rights, little exploration of intersectionality in relation to the vulnerability of indigenous women and a lack of exploration of the gender implications to rights issues affecting indigenous communities. There are, however, promising signs that the gap in monitoring indigenous women's rights is closing.

- 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 processes to define, implement and monitor the sustainable development goals should be used as a vehicle to address the aspirations of indigenous peoples for self-determined development, and to achieve equality in development outcomes. This will require the full and effective participation of indigenous peoples in the definition, implementation and monitoring of the goals at both the international and national levels, including the establishment of regular mechanisms for consultation and participation;
