Intellectual Property Rights of Indigenous Women

"The 4th World Conference on Women accepted a paragraph in the Platform of Action that agrees to "safeguard the existing intellectual property rights" of Indigenous women. Delegates also agreed to ensure that these rights and their use are protected, respected, and maintained."

"The official delegates of Indonesia and India are still stating their opposition to the inclusion of the term "existing" with intellectual property rights. They believe that "existing" limits the applicability of the definition, because it may not cover future intellectual property rights. Just having traditional indigenous knowledge retained in the document is "a step forward," Friedel says. "We forced this whole paragraph in the document." As indigenous women from around the world become more involved in the international decision making processes, she says, they are better able to ensure their concerns are addressed. Friedel hopes that "as long as we keep participating ... we will make progress, we all just have to take tiny steps forward". Victoria Tauli-Corpu, coordinator of the Asian Indigenous Women's Network, stated "realistically this is what we can achieve here."
