For four years, nine girls from the Amazon have demanded reparations from their communities affected by oil extraction. A court ruling addressed their demands, but the authorities do not comply.
Meanwhile, they denounce persecution and even violence. Jamileth Jurado, 16, was born in Shushufindi, in the Amazonian province of Sucumbíos and home of the Kichwa, Shuar and Siekopai peoples. In July 2021, the court ruled in favor of nine minors under 15 years of age who sued the Ecuadorian State.
