Human rights are those rights inherent to all human beings, regardless of their origin, race, gender,
religion or any other condition. In the case of indigenous peoples, these rights have historically been
violated and have been subject to discrimination and exclusion. In Mexico, the recognition and respect
of the rights of indigenous peoples has been the subject of constant debate, and although progress has
been made in their protection, there are still important challenges to face. methodology

For the preparation of this essay, an exhaustive bibliographical review of articles, reports and studies
on the situation of human rights of indigenous peoples in Mexico was carried out. Specialized
databases in social sciences were used and sources from international human rights organizations were
consulted.
recommendations

Indigenous peoples in Mexico have historically been discriminated against and marginalized, resulting
in the violation of their human rights. One of the main obstacles they have faced has been the lack of
recognition of their rights as indigenous peoples and the imposition of cultural and economic models
alien to their reality.
Despite the advances in the protection of the rights of indigenous peoples in Mexico, there are still
important challenges to face. One of them is the discrimination and exclusion they face in various
areas, such as access to education, health and justice. In this sense, it is necessary to strengthen social
inclusion policies and programs that allow indigenous peoples to have equal access to these services.

Another of the challenges that indigenous peoples face is the lack of effective participation in the
decision-making processes that directly follow them. Although participation mechanisms such as
indigenous advisory councils have been created in Mexico, much remains to be done to guarantee
effective participation and advocacy capacity.
Discussion

The human rights situation of indigenous peoples in Mexico is a complex and multifaceted issue.
Throughout history, these peoples have faced various forms of discrimination and exclusion that have
resulted in the violation of their human rights.
One of the main obstacles to the protection of the rights of indigenous peoples has been the lack of
recognition of their cultural and linguistic diversity, as well as their right to self-determination. This
has led to the imposition of cultural and economic models alien to their reality, which has had a
negative impact on their ways of life and the lack of knowledge of their cultures and territories.
In addition, indigenous peoples in Mexico face discrimination and exclusion in various areas, such as
access to education, health, and justice. Despite the fact that policies and programs have been created
to promote the social inclusion of indigenous peoples, much remains to be done to guarantee their
equitable access
