Dear Friends

Thanks so much for this link and info- who are the Asia groups leading this forum? can we look to strengthening the alliances with them from our end?

Do link us up- I speak on behalf of Jan Chetna Sansathan and its Adivasi people's forum, the AIFFM and Asthaa . We are seeking to strengthen women's leadership in all of these tribal rights and forest dwellers movements and to organize for self reliance self rule and sustainable futures

Thank you

World Conference Of Indigenous Women

28/10/2013

We indigenous women from different regions of the world have made great efforts to enable our coordinated demands to be heard. We have played a key part in the negotiation procedures for the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, finally adopted in 2007, and in the installation of several specific mechanisms within the framework of the United Nations.

A tangible example, a result of this organizational impulse, is the participation of indigenous women in the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, where our voice has transmitted our recommendations. Topics include health, education, nutrition, the natural environment, economic independence, participation in politics, and violence against indigenous women.

After a joint process of advocacy together with other indigenous organizations, we have persuaded the General Assembly of the United Nations to organize a high-level plenary meeting known as the World Conference on Indigenous Peoples (WCIP) to be held in September 2014 in New York.

The WCIP will function as a meeting place to exchange points of view and information on the best practices regarding the rights of indigenous peoples and compliance with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

At the same time, as the term for achieving the Millennium Development Goals is about to expire, the United Nations and other international organizations are promoting world-level consulting processes with the aim of redefining priorities for development after 2015.

Similarly, to celebrate 20 years of the Cairo Programme of Action, there is to be a worldwide assessment of the state and development of the population of the whole world, culminating in the next International Conference on Population and Development, known as Cairo +20.

The United Nations will also hold a new World Conference on Women in 2015, known as Beijing +20, to monitor the progress made since the previous meeting, in 1995, at which the Beijing Declaration and the Beijing Platform for Action were adopted.

A further cycle which will reach completion in 2014 is the Second International Decade of the World's Indigenous Peoples, whose objective was to strengthen international cooperation to solve the problems faced by indigenous peoples with regard to topics such as human rights, the natural environment, education, health and social and economic development.

All these debates supply what will become the post-2015 development agenda, and it is vital that the viewpoints of indigenous peoples, especially those of indigenous women, be included.

Progress and Challenges Regarding the Future We Want

The World Conference of Indigenous Women "Progress and Challenges Regarding the Future We Want¨ is a strategic space that will enable indigenous women and youth from seven regions of the world to have access to information and to agree on a unified political position as a worldwide indigenous women's movement.

The Conference is to be held in the city of Lima, Peru from 28 to 30 October, 2013, and it will feature the presence of indigenous women leaders from Africa, Asia, Latin America, North America, the Arctic, Russia and the Pacific.

The Conference is organized by the International Indigenous Women's Forum, the Continental Network of Indigenous Women of the Americas, the Asia Indigenous Peoples' Pact, the African Indigenous Women's Organization, the Alliance of Indigenous Women of Central America and Mexico, the Asian Indigenous Women's Network, the Pacific Indigenous Women's Network, the Indigenous Information Network, and CHIRAPAQ, Centre for Indigenous Cultures of Peru.

Likewise, with the support of the Secretariat of the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII), UN Women, FAO, UNDP, Ministerio de Cultura, Christensen Fund, Global Fund for Women, Tamalpais Trust, AECID, Fondo Indígena, IWGIA, Channel Foundation, Mama Cash and Ford Foundation.

This World Conference, with broad participation, will provide spaces for dialogue, the generation of jointly-agreed proposals, and the creation of a positioning document for indigenous women at world level which will aid advocacy in these different international spaces and processes.
