Carmelina Yule Paví was a member of the Cauca Indigenous Guard. The NASA leader was recognized for defending women's rights in her community.

Her death unleashed a crisis between Iván Mordisco's faction and the Government of Iván Duque. Two of her 11 children were murdered: one in 2020, in circumstances about which there is no further information, and another the following year, in an attack on her home. The leader blamed the Dagoberto Ramos Front of the EMC, which operates in that area.
