Panama: Registering Indigenous Peoples

United Nations Human Rights
October 14, 2015
 
In #Panama, we're helping indigenous peoples register their birth details for the first time, while respecting their cultural rights. People have had their photos taken and details added to the country’s civil register. Some Mama Tata communities have traditionally refused to have their births formally registered, which left them unable to access government services. http://ow.ly/TmMH9 via Oacnudh America Central
