Sofía Minieri is a human rights lawyer working globally to advance gender justice from an intersectional perspective.

Prior to joining WEI in 2021, Sofía worked with civil society organizations, intergovernmental agencies, and regional human rights bodies—including the Spotlight Initiative and the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights—to implement strategic interventions to address gender-based violence and discrimination and advance sexual and reproductive rights in Argentina and the Americas.  She holds an LL.M. from Columbia Law School, where she was a Human Rights Fellow and a Harlan Fiske Stone scholar.
