Rosalía Shacain Marian

ORA Latin America 2023 Fellow

Ecuador

Rosalía Shacain Marian is an Indigenous Shuar leader from the Tarimiat community in Ecuador, where her life and leadership have been shaped by resilience, responsibility, and deep commitment to her people. She became independent at 16 and raised her son as both mother and father—balancing work and study while remaining closely tied to her roots.

When she returned to her community, Rosalía was chosen as a women’s leader. Soon after, during a regional gathering, she was selected to represent Shuar youth at the national level. Though she began with little formal experience, she built strong relationships with others who supported her development as a leader.

Today, Rosalía serves as the Women’s Leader of the Shuar Nation and continues to advocate for youth across her community and territory—guided by ancestral knowledge and a vision of collective strength.
