April 7th is World Health Day! The right to health is an essential human right, but now more than ever, we are seeing that access to quality healthcare is a factor of wealth, race, ethnicity, language, and especially the urban/rural divide. Indigenous Peoples have long been marginalized from access to health services; today that inequality stands to exacerbate the impact of the global health pandemic of COVID-19 in Indigenous communities.
To do our part to address this inequality, Cultural Survival, with volunteer translations from Indigenous communities around the world, is using the power of community radio to inform Indigenous listeners on prevention strategies for COVID-19 in Indigenous languages.
Today on World Health Day, our Indigenous Rights Radio ([link removed]) program brings much needed information on Indigenous health in English, Spanish, and Indigenous languages.
Please listen and share widely!
URGENT PSAs ([link removed]) on the coronavirus available in Español, Ayuujk, Purépecha, Kaqchikel, K'iche',Ixil, Chuj, Ch'orti', Chalchiteko, Awakateko, Akateko, Tseltal, Mam, Mazateco, Nahuatl, Kichwa, English, Sunuwar, Tamang, Nepalí, Gurung, Nepalbhasa-Newari, Gujarati, Filipino, Kankanaey, Maasai, Luo, Khoekhoegowab, Kiswahili, and Afrikaans.

"1. Indigenous Peoples have the right to their traditional medicines and to maintain their health practices, including the conservation of their vital medicinal plants, animals and minerals. Indigenous individuals also have the right to access, without any discrimination, to all social and health services.
2. Indigenous individuals have an equal right to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health. States shall take the necessary steps with a view to achieving progressively the full realization of this right."

Indigenous Womens Health ([link removed])
Indigenous women represent one of the most vulnerable and marginalized populations in the world. For centuries, Indigenous women have been subjected to relentless discrimination and different types of violence based on gender, indigeneity, and class. They are deprived from even basic human rights such as access to health services, education and employment. This Indigenous Rights Radio program depicts Indigenous women and access to quality health services. Produced by Dev Kumar Sunuwar and Bia'ni Madsa' Juárez López.

UNDRIP Article 24: The Right to Traditional Medicines ([link removed])
Article 24 of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples states that Indigenous Peoples have the right to their traditional medicines and to maintain their health practices and also have the right to access, without any discrimination, to all social and health services. Indigenous individuals have an equal right to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health. States shall take the necessary steps with a view to achieving progressively the full realization of this right.
Cultural Survival advocates for Indigenous Peoples' rights and supports Indigenous communities’ self-determination, cultures and political resilience since 1972. We envision a future that respects and honors Indigenous Peoples' inherent rights and dynamic cultures, deeply and richly interwoven in lands, languages, spiritual traditions, and artistic expression, rooted in self-determination and self-governance.
