IWGIA is a non-governmental human rights organisation promoting and defending Indigenous Peoples’ collective and individual rights.

We have supported our partners in this fight for more than 50 years.

We work through a global network of Indigenous Peoples’ organisations and international human rights bodies.

We promote recognition, respect and implementation of Indigenous Peoples’ rights, including the right to self-determination by virtue of which they can freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development. 

Visit our website for more information and to access all our publications, including our flagship annual book The Indigenous World, a yearly overview of the state of the rights of Indigenous Peoples across individual countries and through various international mechanisms and processes.

Defensoras y Defensores de Derechos Humanos en el Chaco Paraguayo: La lucha por la tierra

Training Resources & Tools
September, 2015
Paraguay

Este libro es una secuencia de relatos de casos cargados de emotividad, empatía e identificación con los defensores y las defensoras del derecho a la tierra. Este trabajo es una denuncia política insistente sobre la desigualdad estructural.


Ceñido a la descripción y ejemplificación de hechos graves, se puede ver en el presente un indudable patrón de respuesta del Estado y sus instituciones, sesgado a favor de los intereses de latifundistas y terratenientes y represivo hacia aquellos defensores y defensoras.


Ethnic Violence in Morogoro Region in Tanzania

Policy Papers & Briefs
February, 2015
Tanzania

In early 2015, Maasai and Datoga citizens living in the Morogoro region of Tanzania were victims of deadly, ethnic violence. According to reports from local media, the assaults were instigated by public figures interested in acquiring land, and state authorities have not intervened to protect Maasai citizens. Police protection has instead been given to others who are illegally cultivating officially registered Maasai land.
