The labour situation of indigenous women in Peru: A study

This report, focusing on Peru, provides research on the labour situation of indigenous women as well as recommendations on how to improve the rights and access of indigenous women in rural areas to decent work.

Indigenous women all over the world experience discrimination, not only on the
ground of sex, but also because of indigenous identity, ethnicity and other factors.

The reality for indigenous women living in rural areas is different than for men from their communities, which contributes to structural disadvantage and discrimination.

Indigenous women are among the most marginalized groups globally; if no one is to be left behind in the realization of the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda, ensuring indigenous women’s access to decent work is crucial.

This report is part of an ILO effort to examine the labour situation of indigenous
women in rural areas in a number of countries.
