The handpump mechanics project in Banda in the State of Uttar Pradesh in India is an example of empowering women through ensuring access to ESC entitlements. It is one of the most backward districts in the State, known for its high degree of violence, including violence against women. The project was responding to the problem of water scarcity in the region. It began with teaching non-literate rural women to learn the skills of repairing handpumps. Acquiring a technical skill in a traditionally male domain was both a psychological and social breakthrough.
Most communities have their own rituals, which are practiced to respond to or achieve certain social needs and goals, such as protection or purification. Some of these rituals and rites are linked to specific age phases. Female genital mutilation is a widespread ritual, which is also known as a \"rite of passage.\" It is usually practiced when young girls are entering womanhood. It is a way of restructuring women's bodies, as a symbol, to adapt to the prevailing social norms, values and traditions with regard to women's sexuality.
In prior decades many UN bodies refrained from open condemnation of the practice, because of the \"cultural specificity\" argument, focusing on the health consequences of the practice. However, following the Vienna Conference on Human Rights in 1993 and the international declaration on violence against women, UN bodies such as WHO and UNICEF came out with a firm position against FC/FGM as a violation of women's rights. 15
Indigenous Peoples are distinct social and cultural groups that share collective ancestral ties to the lands and natural resources where they live, occupy or from which they have been displaced. The land and natural resources on which they depend are inextricably linked to their identities, cultures, livelihoods, as well as their physical and spiritual well-being. They often subscribe to their customary leaders and organizations for representation that are distinct or separate from those of the mainstream society or culture. Many Indigenous Peoples still maintain a language distinct from the official language or languages of the country or region in which they reside; however, many have also lost their languages or on the precipice of extinction due to eviction from their lands and/or relocation to other territories, and in. They speak more than 4,000 of the world's languages, though some estimates indicate that more than half of the world's languages are at risk of becoming extinct by 2100.
