E/2004/43 E/C.19/2004/23 including domestic violence; and to eliminating the situation of aggravated discrimination suffered by indigenous women and girls on multiple grounds of racism and gender discrimination; b. Paragraph 50 of the Declaration, which urged States to incorporate a gender perspective in all programmes of action against racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance and to consider the burden of such discrimination, which falls particularly on indigenous women, African women, Asian women, women of African descent, women of Asian descent, women migrants and women from other disadvantaged groups, ensuring their access to the resources of production on an equal footing with men, as a means of promoting their participation in the economic and productive development of their communities; (ii) In response to the growing issues of domestic violence and violence against women and children in our communities, indigenous peoples are searching for our own solutions. Indigenous community organizations in many parts of the world have established programmes for men and boys to complement the work of women’s organizations. Such programmes, viewed as good practices, include indigenous men’s anti-violence projects; men’s groups and corporations to address domestic violence; youth programmes for boys, which promote cultural education and values; peer-counselling programmes, information campaigns and training programmes. These good practices need to be publicized and promoted. Above all, they need to be resourced; (iii) Ending all forms of discrimination based on gender, race/ethnicity, class and culture, and enforcing existing human rights conventions and committing themselves to protecting indigenous women from human rights abuses and violations; (iv) Putting in place and enforcing laws pertaining to the protection of the environment and biodiversity; (v) Protecting ancestral lands and natural resources from multinational commercial exploitation; (vi) Protecting intangible property and cultural knowledge of indigenous women and ensuring their right to cultural and religious expression; (vii) Ensuring indigenous women’s access to culturally appropriate health care (and respect for their reproductive health rights), education, and training; (viii) Making available financial support for women’s enterprises, and to create sustainable job opportunities; (c) At the community level: (i) Increasing the participation of indigenous women in local power and decision-making structures; (ii) Recognizing and enlisting the crucial support of indigenous men and boys in achieving gender equality; (iii) Supporting indigenous grass-roots and outreach organizations; (iv) Greater decentralization of administration and public-sector services in order to assure adequate access to these services; 45
