Back in 2006, Suyen Barahona Cuan joined the ranks of Unión Democrática Renovadora, known today as UNAMOS. This Nicaraguan progressive opposition party was on a mission - to foster democracy, progress, opportunities, and justice amidst an oppressive dictatorship.
Suyen stood stalwart in her commitment to human rights, democracy, and justice. This dedication led her to an integral role in the Women's Network within her party. But she didn't stop there.
In 2017, her peers recognized her unwavering commitment and elected her as the President of UNAMOS. And she's been leading with resilience and fortitude, all while navigating the turbulent waters of a harsh dictatorship.
Suyen is no stranger to the daunting obstacles women encounter in the political arena. Twice, she has been the target of unjustified imprisonment - a victim of persecution. The most recent incarceration saw her locked up in solitary confinement for a staggering 606 days. She was arrested at gun point in front of her 3-year old son.
Undeterred by the obstacles in her path, she tenaciously pioneers the development of vital platforms for women. Her mission? To empower women to seize political prowess, unlock fresh avenues in political arenas, and foster gender balance. All in the pursuit of nurturing governments that are transparent, accountable, and truly representative of their constituents.
