An intense debate unfolded today in the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, as participants in a lively dialogue with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) pressed the Geneva-based body to reform in ways that afforded greater recognition of indigenous peoples in its decision-making processes and respect for their right to safeguard, preserve or promote traditional resources as they saw fit.

PRESS CONFERENCE

PRESS CONFERENCE LAUNCHING EXPERT STUDY ON
VIOLENCE AGAINST INDIGENOUS WOMEN

To address the problem of violence against indigenous women and girls, Governments and United Nations agencies should compile disaggregated data on the scourge, which was institutional and structural in nature, but which also occurred at home and in the communities, correspondents heard at a Headquarters press conference.

Mirna Cunningham Kain, a member of the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, whose eleventh session was under way in New York, presented a study, which enlisted experts from seven regions to analyze the situation of violence against indigenous women from those regions. The Forum, she explained, had addressed the issue of violence against indigenous women and girls since its third session, and had agreed last year to conduct the study.

Ms. Cunningham Kain was joined at the briefing by Joan Carling, Secretary-General of the Asia Indigenous Peoples Pact of the Philippines; Agnes Leina, Executive Director of Il’laramak Community Concerns of Kenya; and Jeannette Corbiere Lavell, President of the Native Women's Association of Canada.
