From our diverse realities, we have created a global mechanism that reflects our voices, strengthens our leadership, and brings our demands to the heart of international dialogue. That global mechanism we have woven together is called FIMI. And today, it continues to thrive thanks to the commitment, memory, and resistance of those who have sustained it for a quarter of a century.
We are a global mechanism that brings together Indigenous Women from seven sociocultural regions.
FIMI is focused on advocacy, capacity building, economic empowerment and leadership development
This is a celebration to honor our roots, recognize what we have achieved, and continue envisioning the future we deserve.

A world free from all forms of discrimination, where Indigenous Women are empowered and are realizing their individual and collective human rights, as well as their well-being.
To bring together Indigenous Women from around the world to promote the recognition and realization of their individual and collective rights and their well-being at all levels.
Rights framework
We conduct our work in the context of various international legal and policy frameworks, including:
-
the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, or UNDRIP.
-
the Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention, also known as the ILO Convention 169.
-
the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, or CEDAW.
-
the Sustainable Development Goals, known as SDGs.
As Indigenous Women, we believe that we are stronger together. That is why FIMI coordinates actions with Indigenous organizations, networks and women leaders from all over the world (Asia, Africa, the Pacific, the Arctic and the Americas) to promote the fight for our individual and collective rights.
We act as a bridge that generates and mobilizes human and financial resources to promote the initiatives of Indigenous Women at the local, regional, national and international levels.
