Description of this Book
Indigenous Women's Rights brings together, for the first time, the perspective of indigenous people from across the Commonwealth, and particularly indigenous women, on matters of public policy that particularly concern them. The Commonwealth, with one-third of the world's population, is home to some fifty per cent of the world's indigenous peoples. The book includes case studies from all regions of the globe. It presents the lived experiences of indigenous women in their own words, combined with policy analysis, information briefs on each Commonwealth country with an indigenous population, and a policy brief for government officials. This book will help will help indigenous people to share their different experiences and identify common themes, and will assist governments in creating an enabling environment for indigenous peoples to participate to the full.
