Daniela Gordon Ortiz
Daniela Gordon Ortiz is a social work student from a urban rural area of Costa Rica. She acquired a physical disability when she was 16, which turned her into a fierce advocate for the rights of persons with disabilities. Daniela is a member of the Latin-American youth network META (Movimiento Estamos Todos en Acción, or We are All in Action Movement), which promotes inclusion, especially of people with disabilities, in the domains of education, sexual health and reproductive rights, and information communication technologies. Daniela has participated in several events, conferences and summits giving speechs about how young people are not the future, but the present, and how youth can raise their voices and work together for a healthier and inclusive world. Daniela is interested in working on the challenges facing vulnerable girls and women that affect their lives and mental health.
