Rosalia Shacain Marian

My name is Rosalia Shacain, I am an indigenous Shuar, and I belong to the Tarimiat community. I am 34 years old, and I am a Shuar National Women’s Leader. From an early age, I had to work and study; I became independent at the age of 16, and I had a son for whom I had to be a Father and Mother. Years later I returned to my community and they chose me as a women’s leader. Later, when I participated in a meeting, several people selected me to represent my nationality as a youth leader. I did not have much experience, but in this time I had the opportunity to meet people who have allowed me to work in the best way and help young people of my tribe. Now I represent the youth of my tribe.
