Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain
I am a second-year PhD student at Universitat Rovira i Virgili, specializing in the socio-legal analysis of honor-based crimes and honor killings in Spain. My research explores their cultural and legal dimensions, comparing them to femicide and other forms of gender-based violence. With a Master’s in Sociology of Law from the International Institute for the Sociology of Law (IISL-IISJ), I gained expertise in legal pluralism, human rights, and the rule of law. My current work builds on this foundation, employing interdisciplinary methods to investigate structural and cultural barriers to justice for victims of honor-based crimes. My responsibilities include collecting and analyzing data, examining legal cases, and engaging with stakeholders such as NGOs and policymakers. I aim to publish findings, present at conferences, and develop actionable recommendations for legal and social reforms. Passionate about bridging research and practice, I am committed to advancing justice, equality, and human rights through impactful academic contributions and collaborative efforts.
