"Not Even Game of Thrones Compares to Bolivian Politics."

Jhanisse Vaca Daza is the co-founder two organizations: Ríos de Pie, a non-violent citizen movement focused on human rights and environmental rights in Bolivia, and the Jucumari Foundation, whose goal is to contribute to humanitarian and environmental efforts across Latin America. Currently serving as the activism outreach specialist and manager of the Freedom Fellowship programme at the Human Rights Foundation, a non-profit that focuses on promoting and protecting human rights globally with an emphasis on closed societies, she spoke to Notes from the World about the environmental struggles in Bolivia, the nation’s democratic challenges and her thoughts on its forthcoming presidential election, now scheduled for this August.
