A/HRC/33/57 for healthy lifestyle information programmes to be devised and States should design specific strategies for the prevention of communicable and non-communicable diseases in partnership with indigenous peoples and with their free, prior and informed consent. 18. States should implement legislation, policies and programmes that support indigenous peoples in making informed choices about their health and that include initiatives to improve indigenous peoples’ choices regarding the underlying determinants of health, such as healthful food and physical activity. 19. Educational initiatives for indigenous peoples should be prioritized by States, given the strong direct and indirect links between health and educational attainment. States should ensure that every indigenous child has access to primary and secondary education and that all indigenous peoples can access health-related educational resources. 20. The high rate of removal of indigenous children from their families and communities worldwide and the far-reaching health effects of intergenerational trauma attributable to such removal and placement in residential schools and other facilities should be further investigated by States. Steps should be taken to preserve the integrity of indigenous families in accordance with the rights of the child and to ensure that affected indigenous persons receive the preventive and curative health-care services they require for addressing sequelae such as mental illness. 21. States, in cooperation with indigenous peoples, must take immediate steps to reduce the high rate of indigenous suicide worldwide, in particular among children and youth. Proven preventive measures should be implemented in high-risk communities and sufficient resources should be allotted to achieve genuine improvements in mental health among indigenous peoples. 22. States should provide resources and materials to deliver culturally appropriate health care to women, especially in respect of maternal health and sexual and reproductive health and rights. 23. States should ensure that women are protected from violence by enforcing criminal laws and making use of indigenous juridical mechanisms. States should also offer support services and resources for women who experience violence, including monetary resources where necessary. 24. States should take steps to combat discrimination against indigenous persons with disabilities by implementing legislation, policies and programmes and creating mechanisms to protect these people from having their rights abused by third parties. States should also implement culturally appropriate services (diagnostic and otherwise), taking into account indigenous needs in identifying and managing disability. 25. States should promote the exercise of indigenous traditional games and sport, for example through the World Indigenous Games. 26. States need to legally recognize and protect the right of indigenous peoples to their lands, territories and resources through appropriate laws and policies, given their intrinsic connection with the rights to health and to food. 27. States should make concrete plans to implement the provisions of the Paris Agreement, to mitigate the harmful effects of climate change and to tailor their healthsector planning to prepare for the health-related impacts of climate change, which disproportionately affect indigenous peoples. 28. States should ensure that adequate mechanisms are in place to provide redress and remedy for health rights infringements, including treaty rights, either through mainstream or indigenous juridical systems. Indigenous juridical systems may have certain advantages in terms of the resolution of complaints linked to health rights violations. 23
