Sobre la organización y el proyecto
One year ago, on December 15, 2011, President Barack Obama announced that the United States would “lend its support” to the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. “The aspiration it affirms,” he said, “including the respect for the institutions and rich cultures of Native peoples, are one we must always seek to fulfill.”
In the shadow of the tenth anniversary of September 11, 2001, many people failed to recognize another significant event. Four years ago, on September 13, 2007, the United Nations General Assembly signed into existence the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP).

Los derechos de los Pueblos Indígenas a sus tierras, territorios y recursos naturales constituyen la base material y espiritual de su libre determinación, identidad cultural, sistemas alimentarios, organización política y continuidad intergeneracional.

Before modern medicine imposed its standards for defining health, well-being, and healing, Indigenous Peoples already developed sophisticated forms of care that identified, treated, and alleviated illnesses. Developed over generations of intentional listening, communities maintained relationships through their traditional practices, grounded in deep ecological knowledge and the prioritization of communal ceremonies.

On March 9-19, 2026, women from around the world participated in this year’s UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW 70) at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, and at nearby off-site UN-affiliated offices to address global inequities facing women and girls.
