Indigenous women
Indigenous women are women who belong to the original communities and cultures of a region, such as Native Americans, First Nations, Inuit, Métis, Aboriginal, or Torres Strait Islander peoples, depending on the country. They often hold vital roles within their communities, preserving cultural traditions, languages, and knowledge. Indigenous women may face unique challenges, including social inequalities, discrimination, and higher rates of violence and health disparities. Recognizing their experiences and contributions is essential for respecting their rights and supporting efforts toward equality and cultural preservation.
