Young climate activist and women indigenous rights

Bolivia

I am an indigenous young climate activist and women indigenous rights. Avoiding losing indigenous communities due to climate change disastrous effects, such droughts, are goals I fight to address. Warmi Shining is an organization I founded and focuses on education for girls from indigenous, low economic, or remote area backgrounds. We believe that empowering them is the best way to fight all the violence they suffer.

The reason why I want to join the World Forum for Democracy is to learn how democracy plays a crucial role and what it can do to support and advocate for the environment and indigenous and minority groups since I am from one of them.

Looking forward to meeting other changemakers from around the world and contributing to each other!
