Senior Attorney, Rights DefendersDefender of collective and human rights, lawyer, fighter. I’m convinced that a dignified life is a right for all and I fight for that right every day. I feel certain that States and large corporations have ignored their obligations to indigenous peoples and commit myriad structural violations against their lives and territories every day. For that reason resistance, denunciation, organization and mobilization are necessary and urgent paths. I’m immensely happy to be able to construct these collective paths with and for the people as a member of Amazon Frontlines.
