Puntarenas, Costa Rica

Tony Soto is a young activist from Puntarenas, Costa Rica. He descends from the Chorotega and Huetar indigenous groups in Costa Rica. Tony’s family is immersed in a matrilineal model which prompted him to question gender inequalities from a very early age given that his national context tends to favor men over women. 

Tony is currently pursuing a Master’s Degree at DePaul University in Chicago in Applied Diplomacy with a concentration on Migration. He recently graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science and German from Luther College, Iowa. He is a Youth Council member and Central America Regional Director for Earth Guardians.
