ination of all forms of discrimination of women) and the Convention 169 of ILO on indigenous people rights. The objective is to strengthen the leadership of indigenous women on these issues through 6 workshops around the country 3 of them in the Northern r
egions and 3 of them in the South. 25 indigenous women will be invited to each workshop. As a result the project also aims at producing an action plan.The indigenous women in Chile face three kinds of forms of discrimination as women as poor and as indigen
