She was an activist for justice in the Student Movement beginning in the early 1970\u00b4s, and she has also worked in support of Indigenous movements and as an advocate for women\u00b4s sexual and reproductive rights. In 1994, she co-founded and became Executive Director of Catholics for the Right to Decide (CDD Mexico), a F\u00f2s Feminista partner, positioning the organization as a leader in SRHR in Mexico. In addition to participating in the Latin American Network of Catholics for the Right to Decide, Mar\u00eda Consuelo has been very active in several international and regional networks. She was a founding member of the Health, Empowerment, Rights and Accountability International Advocates Group sponsored by the International Women\u00b4s Health Coalition, as well as a founding member of the Latin American Consortium Against Unsafe Abortion, (CLACAI).\r\n\r\nAs a F\u00f2s Feminista Board Director since 2022, Mar\u00eda Consuelo is a member of the Resource Mobilization Committee. She has collaborated with F\u00f2s Feminista since 2004 and has served on the Board of F\u00f2s Feminista Mexico (F\u00f2s Feminista\u2019s sister entity in Mexico) since 2020. Maria Consuelo retired from CDD in 2020 and currently works at the Mexican National Women\u2019s Institute.\r\n\r\nMar\u00eda Consuelo has been widely recognized for her work on women\u2019s rights in Mexico, including a recognition for \u201cWomen who opened political paths to women\u2019s rights\u201d from the Mexico City Government, the Hermila Galindo Award for her commitment to women\u00b4s human rights, and the Elvia Carrillo Puerto bestowed by the Mexican Senate\u2019s Commission on Gender Equality. Additionally, she worked as Technical Secretary to the Governing Board of the Mexican National Women's Institute for 5 years, and during her tenure she advocated to advance the SRHR agenda alongside high-level officials at both the national and international level, to monitor the Mexican government's compliance with the Montevideo Consensus, and to build working relationships with civil society organizations and academics in a framework of respect and harmony.\r\n\r\nMoreover, international organizations have also recognized her work, such as Amnesty International USA, Women Deliver, and F\u00f2s Feminista (which awarded her the Honors Medallion in 2008 for her personal contribution to SRHR.)\r\n\r\nShe is an anthropologist and researcher with a Master\u2019s degree and doctorate credits in Latin American Studies from the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters of the UNAM, Mexico. As an advocate, she has long-standing experience as a spokesperson and in mass media; she has written and published several articles and chapters for journals and books.","":null,"anchor_id":""}}]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
