Bringing together participants from some 500 indigenous groups worldwide, the Forum is focusing on the theme ""Indigenous Children and Youth"". Women in indigenous costume participate in today's session.

A view of indigenous children from the Embera people, displaced by armed conflict. There are over two million internally displaced persons in Colombia and while forced displacement is always a very difficult experience, it is doubly catastrophic for indigenous communities. Indigenous culture is closely linked to the land and displacement often leads to the total collapse of traditional authority and cultural patterns.

Headline UNDEF Supports Census in Gabon Mekambo Area

Caption Description A local girl at the market in Mekambo, in Gabon’s northeastern Ogooué-Ivindo province. The area is where a team sponsored by the UN Democracy Fund (UNDEF) is conducting a census of the Bakoya Pygmyies, an indigenous, forest-dwelling group that has remained largely undocumented and as a result, without civic rights, including the right to vote.
