SUMMARY:Healing Land & People: Gender-Based Violence & Protecting Indigenous Women

RSVP Here\nMore About This Event\nAs the world shifts toward a “green” energy transition dependent on large-scale mineral extraction\, Indigenous women—especially youth—face escalating threats on the frontlines of these conflicts.

Through intergenerational storytelling\, reflection\, and action-oriented dialogue\, participants will explore how restoring balance with the land also means restoring safety\, sovereignty\, and healing for communities. \nKey Focus Areas\n\nLinks between land dispossession\, extractive industries\, and the MMIP crisis\nIndigenous women’s land stewardship as protection and resistance\nHow sovereignty\, cultural continuity\, and intergenerational knowledge strengthen community safety\nUsing UNDRIP and international frameworks to demand accountability\nBuilding cross-community solidarity for Indigenous women land defenders\n\nExpected Outcomes\n\nCollaborative policy and community action recommendations\nGreater awareness of how climate and extraction impact MMIWG2S+\nShared strategies to protect Indigenous women\, girls\, and 2-spirit people as part of climate justice\n\nSpeakers: \nAdina Farinango (Kichwa-Otavalo) Artist who uses art as an act of resistance\, healing\, and self-expression. \nLily Joy Winder (Diné\, Southern Ute\, African American) Stanford Master’s in Earth Systems | Digital Strategist with 300k+ Followers \nYanenowi Logan (Seneca Nation) Columbia M.S. in Climate | UN Food and Agriculture Organization Indigenous Knowledge Intern \nKianna Pete (Diné )Environmental advocate\, researcher\, and collaborator. | Tribal Conservation Program Fellow | Board Member at American Indian Community House \nCharitie Ropati (Yup’ik & Samoan) Engineer | Climate Advisor to UN Secretary-General | Regional Facilitator @ Youth Climate Justice Fund | UN Women Leader | Forbes 30U30 | Muhammad Ali Humanitarian Award \nModerator:\nDelfina Roybal – Indigenous Communications & Social Media Strategist | Columbia University | Phyllis Stevens Sharp Fellow | Founder of Natives for Zohran NYC\, organizing Indigenous New Yorkers toward political self-determination through community surveying and grassroots mobilization. \nAbout The Human Impacts Institute \nThe Human Impacts Institute (HII) is a NYC-founded nonprofit that harnesses arts\, culture\, and community engagement to spark bold climate action.
