Mission
ONAMIAP is an organization with national representation that brings together organized Andean and Amazonian indigenous women from eleven regions of Peru. Since 2009, ONAMIAP has been working to promote the recognition and defense of the individual and collective rights of indigenous women, for which it develops actions on two fronts: strengthening the leadership capacities of its grassroots organizations to expand the political participation of indigenous women in local, regional, national and international spaces; and advocacy work to position the proposals and demands of this group on the public agenda. ONAMIAP has achieved effective participation in processes that directly concern indigenous women and peoples, such as the Framework Law on Climate Change, the Law on Prior Consultation with Indigenous Peoples, the inclusion of the ethnic self-identification variable in the National Census and the Intercultural Health Policy.
