Jahiren Elizabeth Noriega Donoso (born 1997) is an Ecuadorian politician and sociologist. She was elected to the National Assembly in 2022 and re-elected in 2023 as a member of the Citizen Revolution Movement.[1] In 2023, she was Ecuador's youngest legislator.[2]
Noriega completed her secondary education at the Sebastián de Benalcazar Municipal School, where in November 2014 she was elected president of the student council. However, the campus authorities tried to prevent her from taking office because there had been no election regulations. Noriega filed a protection action against the school, which was ruled in her favor. Her case was supported by education minister Augusto Espinosa. Noriega was finally sworn in on February 3, 2015, and the Ministry of Education sanctioned the school's principal for her actions in the dispute.[3]
She went on to study at the Central University of Ecuador, where she majored in sociology.[4] There, she was politically active in arguing against cuts in the education budget made by Ecuadorian president Lenín Moreno.[4][5]
