Biography
Abad, born on September 4, 1978, in Luis Cordero, is the eldest daughter of Segundo José Abad and Delia Morocho. Although her parents resided in Chupianza, where she was conceived, public health reasons led to her birth taking place in "Cañar – El Cordero."
Contributions
Her participation was prominent in the release of Pepe Acacho during the government of Rafael Correa. She facilitated the first-time registration of a Shuar, Marcelino Chumpi, as prefect in the prefecture of Morona Santiago. Additionally, she played a significant role in the election of Tiyua Uyunkar as the first Achuar prefect. She was involved in the defense of citizens' rights after the death of Bosco Wisum, leader of the Shuar nation. As an activist, she advocated for the promotion and protection of children's rights, contributing to improving the living conditions of children in the region. Currently, she leads the network of Amazonian women.
Professional career
Abad studied at Julio Matovelle School in Chupiantza Chico and at the Logroño agricultural technical school, obtaining her high school diploma in agriculture. She started her professional career in 2005 as a political lieutenant in Patuca and, in 2007, served as a secretary in the prefecture of Morona Santiago during the tenure of Jaime Mejía.
She studied at ESPE Universidad de las Fuerzas Armadas, Instituto Intel Com, and later started a bachelor's degree in business administration.
Assembly member
She resigned from her position on June 7, 2023, motivated by the cross-death decree issued by President Guillermo Lasso, to participate in the general elections for the Assembly. Henry Kronfle became the President of the re-formed National Assembly of 137 representatives in 2023. At his election there were only nine members who voted against him including Rosa Baltazar, Adriana García, Lucia Posso, Fabiola Sanmartín, Andrea Rivadeneira, Carmen Tiupul, Mariana Yumbay and Abad.
