** 8 Things to Do on
International Women's Day
------------------------------------------------------------
Today, March 8, is International Women's Day ([link removed]) (#IWD), first celebrated in 1909. While too many women all over the world still suffer from violence and rights abuses, it is important to recognize the amazing work Indigenous women are doing to make change happen. They are movement builders, system shakers, stewards of ecosystems, community caretakers and working towards a transformative, equitable, and just future for all of our relations.

On this International Women's Day show your solidarity with women as they fight to assert their rights. When we speak of the rights of Indigenous women, we mean all Indigenous women - cisgender and transgender women alike. Join us in this action to honor, uplift, and resource Indigenous women's leadership, so that next year we will have even more to celebrate!

1. Learn about CEDAW's General Recommendation No. 39 on the Rights of Indigenous Women and Girls
[link removed]
On October 26, 2022, the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) adopted the long-awaited General Recommendation No. 39 on the Rights of Indigenous Women and Girls. General Recommendation No. 39 includes the first language in a binding international treaty focused on the rights of Indigenous Women and Girls and answers to an enduring call by Indigenous women for a specific instrument to further and protect their rights. Learn more. ([link removed])

2. Read our issues of the Cultural Survival Quarterly devoted to Indigenous women.
