Women Networking and Strengthening
CIWA’s first theme is to strengthen the solidarity and network of the indigenous women to have a strong and functioned system from the grassroots to the national levels.
At the village level, we study the challenges, needs, and potential areas of indigenous women, and facilitate the selection of indigenous women representatives. We regularly conduct meetings, consultations, and action plan for indigenous women as well as conduct study tour to exchange experiences among indigenous communities.
