Description: The International Indigenous Women’s Forum works toward indigenous women’s rights all over the world. It emphasizes the rights of indigenous women to be included in leadership positions and decision-making at the local, national, and international levels. The forum also sponsors workshops and training sessions for indigenous women to develop leadership skills. The Indigenous Women’s Fund (IWF), their grantmaking mechanism, is led by and for Indigenous women to provide Indigenous women with resources in a way that increases their sense of dignity and self-esteem and that respects their visions, priorities, and perspectives that are compatible with the self-determination of their peoples. IWF offers program grants in four thematic areas: economic empowerment, educational empowerment, political participation, and institutional strengthening. The fund does not fund: groups that do not have indigenous women in management roles, groups that do not have indigenous women as their primary focus, political parties, election campaigns, non-Indigenous governmental organizations, or individuals attending conferences/training without following up with indigenous women.
