Biography of Karla Margareth Henríquez Lozada My name is Karla Margareth Henríquez Lozada. I was born on July 1, 1971, in Valencia, Carabobo State, Venezuela. I am the mother of Kathielly Rodríguez and the proud grandmother of Nahara Rodríguez, both of whom currently reside in Spain. They are a constant source of love, inspiration, and personal strength in my life. I am a lawyer, graduating with honors, and I hold a Doctorate in International Law. This academic foundation has allowed me to approach legal challenges from a global perspective, with a strong focus on human rights advocacy, international legal standards, and the protection of vulnerable populations. Over the course of more than 25 years, I have built a multidisciplinary career in the public sector, academia, and civil society, serving in roles such as: Legal advisor for governmental and non-governmental institutions University professor, teaching courses in International Law, Human Rights, Constitutional Law, and Criminal Law Technical consultant for national and international projects related to social justice, international cooperation, and the protection of at-risk communities Trainer and facilitator in legal education programs for public officials, human rights defenders, and community leaders A key focus of my professional path has been my work with victims of human trafficking, especially women, girls, and migrants in vulnerable situations. I have participated in legal assistance programs, psychosocial support services, rights education, and the creation of inter-institutional support networks to ensure their protection and recovery. This deeply human and complex work has further solidified my lifelong commitment to justice and the restoration of rights. In addition, I have led awareness campaigns and training initiatives aimed at preventing human trafficking, working in collaboration with international bodies, state institutions, and civil society organizations. I have contributed to the development of legal frameworks and care protocols grounded in the principles of dignity, reparation, and non-revictimization. My academic background is further supported by an extensive portfolio of certifications and diplomas in fields such as Constitutional Law, International Arbitration, Human Rights, Gender and Public Policy, Public Administration, International Humanitarian Law, and International Criminal Law, among others. This continuous training has enabled me to fulfill an integrated role as a legal professional, educator, and advocate for justice. I am defined by my professional ethics, empathy, discipline, and a strong vocation for human rights defense. I firmly believe that the law must serve justice, and justice must be accessible to all—especially to those historically excluded or silenced. Today, I remain actively engaged in legal consulting, university teaching, training programs for human rights defenders, and the development of inclusive public policies, driven by the conviction that the law must be a tool for equity and dignity.
