International Day of Indigenous People
The 2030 Agenda aims to empower vulnerable people, including indigenous peoples, through economic development, equal access to education and social, economic and political inclusion (Sustainable Development Goals 2, 4 and 10).
The United Nations (UN) has also declared 9 August to be the International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples and the decade of 2022-2032 as the International Decade of Indigenous Languages. The former has as its primary objective to protect indigenous languages that are at risk of disappearing.
