Plan decenal de idiomas Indígenas en Colombia

De acuerdo con la Organización de las Naciones Unidas (ONU), en el mundo se hablan cerca de 7 mil idiomas, y pese a que los Pueblos Indígenas constituyen menos del 6% de la población mundial, ellos hablan más de 4000 lenguas. La ONU reconoce la importancia de las lenguas Indígenas para la cohesión y la inclusión social, los derechos culturales, la salud y la justicia, por lo que proclamó el período comprendido entre el 2022 y el 2032 como el Decenio Internacional de las Lenguas Indígenas.

Día Mundial del Agua

El Día Mundial del Agua se celebra el 22 de marzo de cada año para “llamar la atención sobre la importancia de este elemento, defender la gestión sostenible de los recursos hídricos” y asegurarnos de que “todas las personas tendrán acceso a agua y saneamiento gestionados de manera segura para el año 2030”. Aunque esta última meta es parte de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible, firmados en el 2015 por todos los Estados miembros de las Naciones Unidas, aún estamos muy lejos de lograr el acceso al agua para todas las personas que habitamos este planeta. 

International Transgender Day of Visibility

The experience of being Indigenous and transgender brings about a variety of unique intersectional challenges. Growing up in Tana (Deanu), Sápmi land, Levi Sørum (Sámi) lived most of his life rooted in Sámi culture and language. He says he feels fortunate to have attended Sámi kindergarten and one year of Sámi elementary school, in light of Norway’s history of attempting to erase Sámi culture. Besides being Sámi, Sørum is a transgender man – although he considers the term transgender more of a physical description than an identity.
