Indigenous women's rights

Indigenous women's rights involve ensuring they have equal access to justice, education, healthcare, and protections against violence and discrimination, recognizing their unique cultural identities and histories. Historically marginalized, they often face higher rates of violence, limited resources, and social inequities. Upholding these rights means respecting their cultural practices, giving them a voice in decision-making, and addressing systemic barriers. It's about promoting fairness and empowerment within their communities and society at large, ensuring Indigenous women are protected, valued, and able to fully participate in social, political, and economic life.
