We extend our warmest congratulations to our Chairperson, Gunjal Ikir Munda, an Adivasi leader from Jharkhand, India, on being selected as a Senior Indigenous Fellow with the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), Southeast Asia Regional Office in Bangkok.
This is a remarkable achievement and a meaningful opportunity to bring Indigenous peoples’ voices and experiences into regional and global human rights spaces. This opportunity also reflects our steadfast commitment to advancing the rights, dignity, and voices of Indigenous Peoples.
Gunjal’s journey is an inspiration to many young Indigenous leaders across Asia, showing that IP youth voices and leadership have a rightful place in shaping conversations and decisions at the regional and global levels.
Congratulations, Gunjal! We are proud to see you carry our voices and strengthen Indigenous youth leadership across Asia.
