This side event will centralize female Indigenous voices in a moderated panel discussion on socio-economic development, including on remaining barriers and potential paths forward. The panel will feature speakers who will speak to empowerment, entrepreneurship, academia and opportunities for economic advancement.
This panel will highlight the lived experiences of Indigenous women, including but not limited to those who are survivors of gender-based violence, while also sharing stories of prosperity and healing. Presentations will also consider opportunities to strengthen global understandings of the unique experiences of Indigenous women, and share best practices in centralizing and understanding the diverse voices and experiences of Indigenous women.
This event will enable conversation and collaboration across Indigenous organizations and international partners working to advance the rights of Indigenous women, girls, and Two-Spirit Peoples.
