As a Student Director of Yale Law School's Lowenstein International Human Rights Clinic, I initiated, helped to develop, and coordinated a partnership with the Center for Reproductive Rights that resulted in an amicus brief to the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in the Case of Ángulo Losada v.

The brief argued that, included among Bolivia's obligations to combat sexual violence against children, are obligations to provide educational and health services that address gendered power dynamics.
