The student who fought to pass Mexico’s historic ‘revenge porn’ law
Â鶹ԼÅÄ Inspirations 2020 winner: Ana Baquedano fought to change the law in Mexico after an ex shared her nude selfie.
As a teenager, Ana Baquedano sent a nude selfie to her boyfriend in exchange for a promise to delete it. Instead, he shared it. Ana was bullied, harassed and suffered from depression. But then she got to work making Mexican history. While Ana was still a student, she led a campaign to make 'revenge porn' a crime in her state of Yucatan - and in 2018 the historic legislation was passed.
Jo Fidgen caught up with Ana to name her one of the winners of Â鶹ԼÅÄ Inspirations 2020. For full details of the awards and Covid-19 related changes, please check the revised terms on our website: www.bbcworldservice.com/inspirations.
