IIWRMB - Key Persons
I became passionate about human rights after seeing the social inequalities particularly for women in my home country Colombia. I pursued my passion for human rights during my studies at the University of Winnipeg where I pursued a bachelor in economics and a minor in human rights. I'm honored to be surrounded by women who are fierce advocates about human rights. I'm looking forward to what we can achieve for social justice and gender equity in Manitoba.
The work may be challenging but these fearless people inspire me everyday. Together we can create the change we wish to see.
