When she was a child, Marileu Avendaño used to go to the river with her friends to play. She was born and raised in Petorca, a rural town of more than 10,500 inhabitants in central Chile.
“I used to swim in the river,” the now 30-year-old agroecologist and president of Chile’s National Peasant Confederation tells CNN. “But my son won’t be able to.”
Where Marileu used to bathe, there are only rocks, dry shrubs, and dust – and no sign of water.
