UN Women failed to invite indigenous women experts as panelists in the interactive panels. However, several indigenous women attended the works of CSW57, some of them supported by UN Women. In the agreed conclusions, CSW also adopted a paragraph on indigenous women, which reads: “27. The Commission reaffirms that indigenous women often suffer multiple forms of discrimination and poverty which increase their vulnerability to all forms of violence; and stresses the need to seriously address violence against indigenous women and girls.”(E/CN.6/2013/L.5)
