In recognition of the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the ARC Centre of Excellence for the Elimination of Violence Against Women (CEVAW) are launching a global series of Online Expert Roundtables to spotlight Indigenous leadership in ending violence against women and girls.
The first session will focus on femicide against Indigenous women and girls, providing a platform to connect across regions, amplify Indigenous voices, and co-create justice, prevention, and data approaches rooted in Indigenous leadership, feminist decolonial frameworks, and the lived experiences of victims’ families.

- Families of victims and survivors of gender-based violence
- Researchers and data activists using feminist and decolonial methods

Priority will be given to:

- Diverse perspectives and forms of knowledge
