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.
