How do you imagine equality in the next 25 years?
In 25 years I imagine equality in a world where women and girls have access to education, where no one is left behind, where trans and LGBTIQ people have access to the same rights, where femicides don't exist anymore and there is and end to violence against women.
What is your message for today’s leaders?
The appeal I make to leaders is that they quit being indifferent to the situations we live in, that they should generate protection policies for us and for people of the LGBTIQ community.
What is needed to achieve equality and inclusion?
To facilitate equality and inclusion we need more tolerance, we need respect, we need our authorities to take action and but we also need to be decision-makers.
