This question assesses whether indigenous peoples are protected against arbitrary deprivation of life, disappearance of individuals, torture and cruel, inhumane or degrading treatment. Protection against such atrocities is enshrined in core human rights conventions.
The indicator is aligned with SDG Indicator 16.10.1, wherefore data generated here can feed into national and international SDG monitoring – and indicate whether indigenous human rights activists are particularly vulnerable to atrocities, as compared to the overall figures on atrocities against journalists, trade unionists and human rights defenders.
Data sources: Data on killing, death threats, kidnapping, enforced disappearances, arbitrary detention and torture of indigenous individuals defending the rights of their people may be available from National Human Rights Institutions, NGOs, indigenous peoples’ organizations, etc..
At the global level, data on this SDG indicator (16.10.1) will be compiled from a variety of sources by UNESCO and OHCHR, and made available through a public online platform by the UN.
Please mark ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ for each of the answer categories, indicating whether indigenous human rights defenders have been victims of the atrocities listed (killing, death threats, kidnapping, enforced disappearances, arbitrary detention and torture).

This question too assesses whether indigenous peoples are protected against arbitrary deprivation of life, disappearance of individuals, torture and cruel, inhumane or degrading treatment. Protection against such atrocities is enshrined in core human rights conventions.
The question is aligned with SDG Indicator 16.1.1, the number of victims of intentional homicide per 100,000 population, by sex and age - wherefore data generated here feed into monitoring that indicator at national and international levels. Intentional homicide is defined as the unlawful death inflicted upon a person with the intent to cause death or serious injury.
It is worth noting that the rationale behind measuring intentional homicide as an SDG indicator, is the fact that it is considered a key global indicator for measuring the level of security - or the lack thereof - a given population group is facing.
Data sources: Data on killings of indigenous men, women and children may be available from National Human Rights Institutions, indigenous peoples’ organizations, NGOs, etc.. Given that this is an SDG indicator, it is worthwhile checking with the national Statistical Office too whether they have data on this available, and if so, if this data is disgaggregated by ethnic groups / indigenous identifiers?
Global data on this SDG indicator (16.1.1) will be collected by the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (through the criminal justice system) and WHO (through public health/civil registration), and will be made available through a public online platform by the UN.
Please indicate the number of killings, since 2008, of indigenous men, women and children respectively, and add additional information in the comment box as deemed relevant.

This question too assesses whether indigenous peoples are protected against arbitrary deprivation of life, disappearance of individuals, torture and cruel, inhumane or degrading treatment. Protection against such atrocities is enshrined in core human rights conventions.
The question is aligned with SDG Indicator 16.1.2 on conflict-related deaths per 100,000 population, by sex, age and cause - wherefore data generated here feed into monitoring that indicator at national and international levels.
The SDG meta-data define conflict-related deaths as those deaths caused by warring parties directly related to combat (traditional battlefield fighting and bombardments), and also killings that amount to war crimes, such as targeting of civilians or of military (who is no longer participating in hostilities by choice or circumstance); massacres of particular ethnic groups, or genocide (deliberate killing of a large group of people belonging to a distinct ethnic group or nation). Deaths from terrorism count as intentional homicide (see previous question).
Data on armed conflict-related deaths of indigenous men, women and children may be available from National Human Rights Institutions, indigenous peoples’ organizations, NGOs, etc.. Data may also be available from conflict death databases, including the IISS Armed Conflict Database, the UCDP Battle-Related Deaths Dataset, PRIO Battle-Deaths Data and WHO estimates of deaths by cause. Given that this is an SDG indicator, it is worthwhile checking with the national Statistical Office too whether they have data on this available, and if so, if this data is disaggregated by ethnic groups / indigenous identifiers?
At the global level, data on SDG indicator (16.1.1) will be compiled by OHCHR, and will be made available through a public online platform by the UN. Data on the national level may also be available from conflict death databases, including the IISS Armed Conflict Database, the UCDP Battle-Related Deaths Dataset, PRIO Battle-Deaths Data and WHO estimates of deaths by cause.

Indicate here whether any community members, because of their opinions and the expression of these opinions (defending the rights of the community), have been the victims of intentional killing, death threats, kidnapping, enforced disappearance, arbitrary arrest, or torture.
If you answer yes to any of these questions, please provide more information about the incident(s) such as the name of the victim(s), the date of the incident, the location where it took place, other details about the event, as well as links to additional information, if available.

Please indicate the number of men, women and children of your people or community who have died from violent conflict, including those who directly fought in a conflict situation, those who were targeted as civilians or out-of-service military, and those who were victims of genocide. Do not count any deaths due to terrorism, as this will be addressed in the next question.

Please indicate how many men, women and children have been victims of intentional killings since 2008? By intentional killings, we refer to any killings whereby the perpetrator (the killer) intended to kill, or seriously injure, the victim. This includes, but is not limited to, Murder - Honour killing - Serious assault leading to death - Death as a result of terrorist activities - Dowry-related killings - Femicide (killing of women) – Infanticide (killing of children) - Voluntary manslaughter - Extrajudicial killings - Killings caused by excessive force by law enforcement/state officials.

Please indicate how many women and girls aged 15 and older have experienced violence in the last 12 months, using the answer categories as follows:
·       "Physical violence" consists of acts aimed at causing harm to the victim’s body (physically hurting the victim).
·       "Sexual violence" is defined as any sort of harmful or unwanted sexual behavior that is imposed on someone. Often the victim is fearful of what might happen if sex was refused.
·       "Harmful practices that are in violation of international human rights" include, among others, child marriage, forced marriage and female genital mutilation (FGM).

This question monitors the protection of physical and mental integrity of detained or imprisoned persons, and appropriate conditions of detention. Rights that are enshrined in core human rights conventions.
The indicator we use here is aligned with the OHCHR indicator for monitoring the implementation of the right not to be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment (UDHR Art. 5). OHCHR has developed a number of indicators as operational tools to promote objective and comprehensive human rights assessments. For more information, see: OHCHR 2012, Human Rights Indicators: a guide to measurement and implementation.
