Indigenous Peoples Rights International (IPRI) is a global, Indigenous-led organization established in 2019 to support Indigenous peoples across the globe who are increasingly subjected to violence, criminalization and violations of their individual and collective rights, while the people inflicting this harm do so with impunity. IPRI is working to increase global awareness and advocacy on this issue. They have chosen to focus on countries with the most killings and human rights violations – Brazil, Colombia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Mexico, India and the Philippines – where they partner with local organizations and networks. IPRI also provides financial, sanctuary, health and legal support to Indigenous Peoples and environmental defenders at risk around the globe. IPRI engages actively with UN human rights and Indigenous Peoples Rights mechanisms in advancing the recognition and protection of Indigenous Peoples by presenting and linking cases on the ground for global attention and access to justice.
