Stating to build BRIDGES -a non-profit start-up- to explore, test and disseminate innovative tactics to more effectively identify, understand, and engage the audiences we work with to advance the HHRR and gender justice agenda. Also, I have been consulting for OSF on anti-gender movements, a highly effective strategy of the extreme right to roll back human rights and liberal democracies. In the past, I changed Colombia's complete ban on abortion, developed the field of reproductive rights in the global south, and designed a methodology to foster strategic thinking within public interest litigation. Had to move to Spain for security reasons.
