7. Please note the Indigenous delegate position is open to any young woman from around the world who belongs to a self-identified Indigenous group. Indigenous peoples, as defined by the United Nations: “are inheritors and practitioners of unique cultures and ways of relating to people and the environment. They have retained social, cultural, economic, and political characteristics that are distinct from those of the dominant societies in which they live. Despite their cultural differences, indigenous peoples from around the world share common problems related to the protection of their rights as distinct peoples”. Fora's Global Summit program brings together accomplished young trailblazers facing gender discrimination from around the world for a year of leadership development, advocacy, and policy-creation training. Every session, networking event, and opportunity is designed to propel them forward on their leadership trajectory and help them advocate for gender equity in their local communities.
