Senior Researcher at @hrw focusing on gender and sexuality in Latin America and the Caribbean

"You Have Arrived in Hell". That's the title of a shocking new joint report from @hrw & @Cristosal, documenting alleged abuse and torture endured by Venezuelans deported by the US to CECOT prison in El Salvador. I spoke with @JuanitaGoe and @NoahFBullock about their findings.


La agresión sexual suele ser “el rostro oculto” del abuso en detención. @hrw_espanol documenta al menos 3 casos en el penal CECOT en El Salvador. El estigma y el miedo a denunciar sugieren que son más. Debemos exigir rendición de cuentas por todas las formas de violencia.

As Putin’s regime criminalizes LGBT lives, Argentina has become a rare refuge for queer Russians seeking safety. But Milei’s attacks on “gender ideology” and cuts to equality programs threaten the very protections that make this refuge possible. archive.is/1FeGA

🇵🇾Paraguay: Without legal gender recognition or the banning of hate crimes, the message is clear: discrimination is tolerable. Yet the LGBT+ fight in Paraguay goes beyond legal change. It’s about transforming a culture that discriminates. See @APNews: apnews.com/article/paragu…

The Trump administration has launched its 16th boat strike in two months, killing at least 67 people in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific. These strikes are extrajudicial killings and are unlawful under both US and international law. Congress needs to act now to stop these deaths.

Police have failed to take crucial steps to investigate 121 killings during a raid in Rio de Janeiro. Police didn´t preserve crime scenes and the chain of custody of evidence. Authorities should ensure a thorough, independent investigation. New from @hrw: hrw.org/news/2025/10/3…

An anti-drug police operation in low-income neighborhoods of Rio de Janeiro has resulted in more than 100 killings. Rio authorities’ decisions leading to such a disastrous operation should be investigated. Families of victims deserve truth and justice.

📢Young people need abortion care. Some have to go before a judge to get it. Our new @hrw @ifwhenhow report "Whose Abortion Is It?" shows how laws requiring healthcare providers to notify a parent before a young person’s abortion cause harm. 🧵⬇️ hrw.org/news/2025/10/2…
