International Indigenous Women's Forum (IIWF)

The International Indigenous Women's Forum (IIWF) is an organization that advocates for the rights and empowerment of Indigenous women globally. Founded in 2000, it brings together Indigenous women from various regions to address issues like land rights, environmental protection, cultural preservation, and gender equality. The IIWF aims to amplify the voices of Indigenous women, ensure their participation in decision-making processes, and promote their contributions to sustainable development. The forum also works to raise awareness about the challenges they face, striving for social justice and respect for Indigenous rights within broader human rights frameworks.
