Ernestina Ascencio Rosario
Ernestina Ascencio Rosario was a 73-year-old indigenous Nahua woman from the Sierra de Zongolica in Veracruz, Mexico, who was tragically raped by members of the Mexican army in February 2007, leading to her death due to severe injuries and lack of timely medical care. Her case gained international attention after the Inter-American Court of Human Rights held the Mexican government responsible for violations of her rights, highlighting systemic failures in the investigation and justice process that further marginalized her family due to their indigenous status.
