The document discusses the situation of indigenous women in internally displaced communities in North and South Upi, Maguindanao province in the Philippines. It notes that the Teduray, Lambangian, and Dulangan Manobo tribes predominantly inhabit these areas but many families have been displaced over the years due to armed conflict between rebel and government forces. This has made it difficult for the women of these tribes to establish permanent homes and secure communities. The document also discusses environmental issues like logging, mining and flooding that impact indigenous women, as well as priorities around education, health, livelihood and peace initiatives.
