Agustina Rivas - Tina Bazuca

The 1965 Dominican Civil War was a conflict aimed at defending national sovereignty and restoring constitutional order after President Juan Bosch was overthrown.^[3][4]

Sources indicate that Tina Bazuca took part in the conflict alongside other women and young people who joined armed groups.^[5] She was associated with the Poasi Command and participated in combat operations in areas of Santo Domingo, including Borojol, Guachupita, and locations near the Duarte Bridge.^[1][2][6]

Some sources attribute to her the use of weapons such as rifles and bazookas, which is believed to be the origin of her nickname.^[1]

Her figure has been mentioned in works related to the participation of women in the conflict. She is also referenced in the book Bazuca: The Forgotten Heroine by Darwin Núñez Veras, registered with ISBN 978-9945-9496-0-5, which presents a narrative based on her story within the context of the war.^[7]
