Marivic Danyan is a land, environmental and T’boli indigenous rights defender. In 2017, the Philippine army killed eight members of Marivic's community, including her father and her husband. According to Marivic, the massacre was a retaliation for their opposition to the powerful agribusinnes company Silvicultural Industries, which had acquired almost 12 thousands hectares of land for a coffee plantation. After the massacre, Marivic started seeking justice for her father and her husband and she decided to take up their stuggle, leading her community's efforts to take back control of their land.
