Morena Herrera
Morena Herrera “is a Salvadoran feminist and social activist noted for her work against her country's ban on abortion. During the Salvadorean Civil War, Herrera was a left-wing freedom fighter for the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front (FMLN) against the United States-supported government. She has been particularly active in advocacy for safe and legal abortion access since its abolishment in 1997, and in 2009 began working with the Citizen's Group for the Decriminalization of Abortion, which she now heads. Herrera was named one of the BCC 100 women in 2016 for her contributions to women's rights in El Salvador.”
