The organization will deliver training sessions for Indigenous women on national and international human rights principles and frameworks in relation to Indigenous values, such as the United Nations Declaration of Indigenous Rights.

Relevant government stakeholders and Indigenous women will work together to develop a plan to implement these recommendations at the local and regional level.
