Experiences in Cross-Movement Collaboration
Indigenous women with disabilities and their allies present global advocacy experiences to promote the rights of indigenous women and girls with disabilities and explore:
- Why is it important to work together to address the rights of marginalized women and girls?
- What collaborative good practices can we employ to tackle discrimination? What are the challenges?
- What are the strategies for cross movement collaboration with the global women’s movement to fight for the inclusion of all women?
- How do we combine our efforts to end violence, exploitation, and human rights abuses against all women, including indigenous women with disabilities?
