Join us at this in-person UN Commission on the Status of Women parallel event panel, which will include partners from the National Indigenous Women’s Resource Center, Alaska Native Women’s Resource Center, and International Mayan League, and Indigenous leaders. Indigenous women in the Americas experience gender-based violence and land-based violence by extractive industries at disparate rates. This event will critically examine the roles of governments and private industries in increasing rates of violence and dispossession in Indigenous nations, as well as the UN and OAS' roles in removing barriers to justice and strengthening Indigenous self-determination. Indigenous women leaders from Peru, Guatemala, and the US including Alaska will engage in high level discussions around legal and political protections for Indigenous women surrounding violent industries (specifically Line 5 in the US, Ambler Road in Alaska, palm oil in Guatemala, and logging in Peru).
