The Indigenous World 2023: Indigenous Persons with Disabilities Global Network (IPWDGN)

“Now we are at the table neither as Indigenous Peoples, nor as disabled, but as Indigenous persons with disabilities. That changes everything” — Setareki Macanawai[1]
“Empowering Indigenous women with disabilities means that we must be at the table making decisions about the issues that affect us”— Pratima Gurung[2]
Both these statements highlight the distinct identity that Indigenous persons/women with disabilities hold and urges acknowledgement of their multiple marginalized intersected identities and the societal forces around us that hinder them from exercising their rights.
