Innovación
The CATWLAC is the firs one that has made visible the demand in Latin America and the Caribbean with solid proposals for a solution, It doesn’t work only in slavery issues but also to foster a better climate between men and women, diminishing the violence and discrimination levels among towards women.
It is an educational project targeting young men and other male groups, to visualize the prostitution demand and consume, embedded in strategies of non-formal education. It was designed for young men from high school to university, and other groups such as taxi drivers who take men looking for paid sex to places with prostitutes (whorehouses, and street prostitutes), and other groups such as policemen, soldiers, etc.

They explain how traditional masculinity is build and takes on the inequities, violence, power exercise, male initiation rituals, how male sexuality is built, new forms of masculinity and the sexuality arrived at by consensus, fostering equality, mutual respect and democracy values

The Story
Cuéntanos sobre ti (esta sección estará disponible para todo el público)
In 1996 I was sellected as Ashoka Fellow because I was the first woman lawyer to defend women's reproductive and sexual rights in Mexican court. I have designed a community-based program to increase respect for women's rights beyond current legal remedies.
I´ve developed a mechanism to address the gap between the provisions of the law and the practical experience of women by creating an ombudsmanlike-role called "popular women defenders." The defenders integrate community-based crisis services with legal information and problem-solving skills.
I address another important task for the dismantling of the culture of machismo, as well.
I strengthen women's exercise of their reproductive and sexual rights by infusing the women themselves with a new vision of their roles in society. This work leverages a powerful tide of women's movements in Mexico that across political, religious and class lines, have expressed their activism for more than twenty years in educational or social assistance work, typically at the grassroots level. Such groups initiated rape crisis centers, for example.
Since 2004 I am the Regional Director of the Coalition Against Trafficking in Women and Girls for Latin America and the Caribbean (CATWLAC).
I am a Lawyer and an educator and I have worked with aboriginal women, from a urban and popular movement, union workers, peasants, etc. I am a specialist in violence and gender discrimination and I have published many papers, researches and studies. I have worked in more than 30,000 rapes of girls and women cases in the Migration Courts of the United States for political asylum and domestic violence, and one case before the Federal Courts of the State of New York in a case of girls kidnapping. I have defended and feed 150 who were wrongly put in jail. In 2005 I was a Peace Nobel Prize Candidate. I am the mother of a 17 years old girls who is my main reason to live and fight for women rights.
