Combating Discrimination against LGBTQIA+ Indigenous People

Update posted by Von Alexis Aguanta

The LGBTQIA+ indigenous population has been estimated at 370 million individuals living in more than 70 countries and made up of more than 5.000 distinct peoples. Although representing less than 5% of the world’s population, LGBTQIA+ indigenous peoples account for 15% of the world’s poorest people. Indigenous peoples face many challenges and their human rights are frequently violated: they are denied control over their own development based on their own values, needs, and priorities; they are politically under-represented and lack access to social and other services. They are often marginalized when it comes to projects affecting their lands and have been the victims of forced displacement as a result of ventures such as the exploitation of natural resources. We really appreciate your support and donations.
