The student who fought to pass Mexico’s historic ‘revenge porn’ law
³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ 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 ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ 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.
