Empowering Voices: Rochun Secures Funding for UN Events in Geneva and New York

We are grateful to share that Rochun has been granted funding to attend two very important events of the United Nations this year for March and April in both Geneva and New York respectively.

 For the Human Rights Council in Geneva in March, we were able to secure funding for three participants including a representative from the Kuki community from Manipur as well as a young scholar from Aizawl, Mizoram. We hope to have written and oral intervention surrounding the topic/discussion on infrastructure under the Look East Policy, FMR, and Land issues/conflict in and around indigenous areas.  

For the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, New York in April, we will focus on youth engagement and involvement, importantly self-determination in the context of informed, and prior consent on issues such as land rights, human rights, Green Economy and Environment where more youths can participate in shaping our better tomorrow. Rochun: Pay it Forward hope is to have more youths from Mizoram and around the world where Mizo, Chin, Kuki, and our larger diaspora can have more representations and voices not only on local but to international levels as individuals and NGOs.
