Ignacio Melgar

Ignacio Melgar is a dedicated activist from Toronto, Canada, who annually leads a pilgrimage to Mirandilla, Guazapa, to honor the memory of those who fell in the Salvadoran struggle for liberation. His efforts are focused on maintaining a monument that commemorates the names of 176 individuals, including his brother, who were victims of state violence during the Salvadoran Civil War. Melgar's work is not only a tribute to the past but also a commitment to preserving historical memory and advocating for social justice.
