On March 13-24, 2017, the 61st Commission on the Status of Women (CSW61) convened at the UN Headquarters in New York City to discuss three major issues: women’s economic empowerment in the changing world of work, challenges and achievements in the implementation of the Millennium Development Goals for women and girls, and the empowerment of Indigenous women. 2017 also marks the 10th anniversary of the UN Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous People and an opportunity for Indigenous women to vocalize their needs and concerns.
On February 13, 2017, Minga Peru's Executive Director Eliana Elias and Cultural Survival's Deputy Executive Director Mark Camp together lead a discussion at Cultural Survival’s headquarters in Cambridge, MA to celebrate World Radio Day. Despite it having snowed 12 inches that morning, the conference room held an intimate group of old and new faces.
