In this line of action, we seek to promote the construction of public policies with a differential approach for Indigenous peoples for their gender, especially women; age: for children, youth and the elderly; disability; forced displacement or refugee status; and members of indigenous communities who are incarcerated.
Work strategies:
1. Strengthen the Participation Process in the definition of indicators and their statistical tools, build capacities for those who collect the data to understand the perspectives of indigenous peoples.
2. Promote a change of stereotypes that generate violence against indigenous women.
3. Promote governance and leadership training among indigenous women and youngsters.
4. Develop affirmative legal actions for granting access to health, justice, education, equity and development for indigenous peoples.
5. Prepare specialized reports and recommendations on gender and population issues of indigenous peoples to influence public policies.
