International lawyer with over twelve years of experience in human rights, strategic litigation, and gender analysis in national and international courts and United Nations mechanisms.
I connect international standards with real processes of change — from litigation to the design of gender-responsive and intersectional public policies.
Practical application of International Human Rights Law, International Criminal Law, and International Humanitarian Law in legal investigations, strategic litigation, and accountability processes before national, regional and international tribunals, as well as United Nations mechanisms.
Integration of gender-responsive and intersectional perspectives into legal analysis and institutional design. Assessment of differentiated impacts, identification of structural bias, and development of frameworks to address systemic inequalities.
Rigorous research, technical reports, and strategic documents aimed at supporting legal and policy advocacy work. Comparative analysis, documentation of International Human Rights Law and International Humanitarian Law violations, and translation of international standards into concrete proposals for legal and public policy reform.
Design and implementation of training programmes for civil society organisations, judicial actors, public institutions, and academic institutions on gender justice, intersectional analysis, and international law.
I am a lawyer specialised in Public International Law, with advanced training in human rights, international humanitarian law, and international criminal law. I hold a BA in Law and Political Science from Universidad Carlos III in Madrid, Spain, where I was awarded the Extraordinary Prize in Political Science.
I am currently finalising the Executive Master in International Law in Armed Conflict at the Geneva Academy (2024–2026). I hold an LLM in Public International Law from the American University Washington College of Law and a specialisation in Human Rights and Women’s Rights from the Faculty of Law at Universidad de Chile.
My practice combines rigorous legal analysis with an empathetic approach to working with people from diverse contexts, alongside a critical understanding of the power structures that shape the functioning of law and institutions. I integrate gender-responsive and intersectional approaches to analyse complex contexts, identify factors that perpetuate structural inequalities, and contribute, through law, to strengthening accountability processes, access justice, and institutional change.
I led investigations into sexual and gender-based violence, conducted trauma-informed interviews, and mainstreamed a gender perspective throughout the legal analysis and documentation of serious human rights violations and international crimes. I contributed to the drafting of reports and recommendations submitted to the United Nations’ Human Rights Council.
I participated in monitoring missions and documentation of serious human rights violations, including interviews and evidence collection. I conducted gender-responsive and intersectional data analysis to identify structural patterns and assess state responsibility under international law, and supported capacity strengthening of civil society organisations.
I conducted legal research and coordinated reports and advocacy actions on torture and the protection of human rights defenders. I designed advocacy strategies, coordinated international missions and events, and provided technical advice to state authorities and civil society organisations, integrating a gender-responsive and intersectional approach.
During my time at the organisation, where I progressed from junior lawyer to legal director, I led and supervised strategic litigation before national courts, regional human rights systems, and United Nations treaty bodies in cases involving sexual violence, trafficking, migration, transitional justice, and sexual and reproductive rights. I designed legal and advocacy strategies, coordinated multidisciplinary teams, developed training programmes for students, peers, and justice sector actors, and represented the organisation in national and international spaces to advance structural reform through a gender perspective.
Experience in legal research, case monitoring, and jurisprudential analysis in international law and international criminal law. I supported judicial chambers and contributed to the preparation of decisions through legal research and analysis. I litigated at national and international levels.
Sound legal analysis grounded in international standards and verifiable evidence.
Commitment to reducing structural inequalities and promoting more inclusive institutions.
Understanding how different structures of power intersect and shape access to rights and justice.
Innovative legal and institutional solutions that expand the possibilities for transformation.
I support organisations, institutions, and civil society actors in integrating gender-responsive approaches and international standards.
Analysis and application of International Human Rights Law, International Humanitarian Law, and International Criminal Law in complex contexts.
Rigorous research in international law, with particular attention to contexts involving serious human rights violations and international crimes.
Design and implementation of training programmes for international organisations, civil society, public or academic institutions.
Reports, analysis, and contributions to advocacy processes and academic debate.
