International Decade of Indigenous Languages (2022-2032)

The International Decade of Indigenous Languages (2022-2032) is a global initiative launched by UNESCO to protect, promote, and revitalize indigenous languages that are at risk of disappearing. Recognizing that these languages hold vital cultural, historical, and identity significance for Indigenous peoples, the decade encourages governments, communities, and organizations to support language preservation efforts. Through awareness campaigns, education, and policy development, the goal is to ensure these languages are maintained and passed on to future generations, fostering cultural diversity and human rights.
