The Forum encourages all United Nations entities to mainstream indigenous gender issues and to integrate the special needs and concerns of indigenous women into their programmes and policies by taking the following steps:
a. Compiling and integrating disaggregated data (both qualitative and quantitative in nature and taking into account local and regional cultural/social/ economic differences) on indigenous women’s issues in their own annual reports. The Forum commends those who have already begun to address this issue of lack of relevant data;
b. Integrating indigenous experts on indigenous women’s issues in their programming staff;
c. Appointing indigenous focal points on indigenous women’s issues within wider gender portfolios;
d. Planning special events centred on the theme "Indigenous men" and integrating that theme in their documentation and outreach activities (web site, reports etc.);
e. Increasing outreach to indigenous women’s organizations worldwide;
f. Increasing the outreach and information flow to and from the academic community, including indigenous educational institutions, on indigenous women’s issues.
