Overview

Brisa de Angulo Losada, a survivor and advocate for other victims of childhood sexual violence, took her decades-long fight for justice all the way to the Inter-American Court of Human Rights after the legal system in Bolivia failed her. Along the way, she attended Rutgers Law School to become her own lawyer, and ultimately was responsible for a landmark ruling in 2023 that will change the way Latin American countries prosecute cases of sexual violence against children.
