that are designed and driven by indigenous women’s organizations and that consider

164. The Permanent Forum recommends that States, United Nations agencies and
other intergovernmental organizations and bilateral donors support the promotion
and full and effective participation of indigenous women in decision-making spheres
at all levels, including in administration and civil service, government action,
government bodies, political parties, the judiciary and trade unions and that
leadership and training processes be considered as pillars for such participation.
165. The Permanent Forum recommends that States: ensure that the collection of
statistical data be disaggregated by sex and ethnicity; discourage monitoring that is
focused only on national averages; ensure indigenous peoples’ and indigenous
women’s effective participation in all stages of the preparation, coordination and
implementation of data collection; develop a proper system of indicators in
partnership with indigenous peoples and women; and enable a measurement of
progress in the different areas.
166. The Permanent Forum recommends that States include ethnic identification in
vital statistics and health records, allocate more funding for intercultural services
that ensure indigenous women’s access to quality health care, including emergency
obstetric care, voluntary family planning and skilled attendants at delivery, and that
the role of traditional midwives be strengthened and extended.
