Leaders of the 2011 Chilean protests

Vallejo lived her childhood between the communes of Macul and La Florida, and she studied in Colegio Raimapu, a mixed-private school in La Florida.

In 2006, Vallejo entered the University of Chile to study geography, where she started forming ties with leftist students and getting involved in politics, which led her to join the Chilean Communist Youth the next year.

In August 2011, the Supreme Court of Chile ordered police protection for Camila Vallejo because of the death threats she received.
