About Us
The STP
The Society for Threatened Peoples (STP) is an independent voice for the rights of minorities and indigenous peoples. We support local efforts to strengthen the human rights of minorities and indigenous peoples, and work both nationally and internationally with organizations and individuals who pursue similar goals. The STP emphasizes a correct wording and does not use the terms “aborigines”, “primitive peoples” and “Indians” as these words are external designations of dominating societies and are rejected by the corresponding minorities.
