In fact, whether the dominant threat is one of land dispossession, labour exploitation, gender-based violence at the border, or some other risk, the migration of Indigenous communities is often far from safe and orderly and, to date, as the United Nations has recognized, States have failed to deliver adequate protections for these populations. Instead, Indigenous communities have developed their own strategies to respond to rights violations and arm themselves with human rights education as a means to exercise their rights or seek justice for the harms they have experienced. This report draws on the direct knowledge and experience of Indigenous migrant communities, and other international actors generated through an international online symposium combined with desk-based research and seeks to showcase and learn from some of these bottom-up practices in the hope that they might inform policy interventions at local, national, and international levels. In doing so, we formulate a novel approach to human rights literacy and advocacy for policymakers to draw on which is centred on valuing Indigenous Knowledges, Networks, Ownership and Words (what we call the KNOW framework). The framework is grounded in community practices and has been developed in consultation with Indigenous communities in Guatemala, Mexico, and the United States through the lens of critical rights literacy.
