Participants are invited to share information, updates, views and opinions on the issue in the form of a 3-minute intervention to the Special Rapporteur, preferably accompanied by a written submission. We will do our best to hear from all participants. In the event that some participants are unable to speak, we welcome written interventions.
The discussion will be organized around the following themes: 1) indigenous women as scientific knowledge keepers; 2) current threats to indigenous women’s knowledge - barriers and challenges; and 3) best practices led by indigenous peoples, States and international organizations in supporting indigenous women’s knowledge.
