The project will contribute to an overall objective of indigenous peoples and organizations in critical ecosystems in South America becoming increasingly able to combat exclusion and discrimination, and protect their rights, territory, environment and traditions, contributing to global efforts in support of social and climate justice. Through a strategic approach, in form of human rights education, partner capacity development at local/regional/national levels and towards targeted policy dialogue and advocacy, the project seeks to strengthen social justice and bring about lasting changes to the lives of indigenous communities in Peru, by addressing causes of discrimination, marginalization and inequality. The process will be developed in a participatory manner with rights holders, and in collaboration between AIDK and AIPE and local partners. In sum, young indigenous women will strengthen their capacity to defend their rights, facilitated by their own advocacy activities and campaigns
