International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples Day 2023

On Ninth of August every year, International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples Day is observed. The theme of the year is Indigenous youths as agents of Change for Self Determination.

In article 3 of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People ( UNDRIP) it is that, “Indigenous peoples have the right of self determination. By virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development.”

Indigenous youths are the torch bearers to tackle the ongoing issues. Creating the opportunity, helping them to explore , navigating the ways forward etc needed among the indigenous youths. In perspective of Bangladesh, indigenous people living in the hills and plain lands are still economically, socially and culturally oppressed and discriminated.

In 1982, The U.N holds the first meeting on indigenous people by forming the U.N Working Group on Indigenous populations of the sub-commission on the promotions and protection of Human Rights.

And in 1995, the first international day of the world’s indigenous people was celebrated by the U.N General Assembly.
