Forest Peoples Programme (FPP) was founded in 1990 in response to the forest crisis, specifically to support indigenous forest peoples’ struggles to defend their lands and livelihoods. It works to create political space for forest peoples to secure their rights, control their lands and decide their own futures. FPP goals are to: get the rights and interests of forest peoples recognised in laws, policies and programmes; support forest peoples to build their own capacities to claim and exercise their human rights; counter top-down policies and projects that threaten the rights of forest peoples; promote community-based sustainable forest management; ensure equity, counter discrimination and promote gender justice; inform NGO actions on forests in line with forest peoples’ visions; link up indigenous and forest peoples’ movements at the regional and international levels. Its website can be browsed by keyword and presents a number of cases related to gender issue.
