The Government of Spain reports: “With regard to paragraph 49, AECI supports, and plans to support, initiatives relating to the sexual and reproductive health of indigenous women and girls, primarily in Panama (through support for the General Kuna Congress and the Kuna Yala women’s collective), Argentina (the north-western and north-eastern communities) and Bolivia, where an agreement aimed at improving primary care and sexual and reproductive health has been signed. Also noteworthy is a project on the economic and gender empowerment of indigenous women living in the Obrajes Prison, aimed at reducing poverty and promoting the exercise of their sexual and reproductive rights.”
