Rocío Mora Nieto holds a degree in Law from Universidad Complutense de Madrid, with a specialization in Political Science. She is an expert in the trafficking of women and girls for sexual exploitation. 

From 1989, her efforts and professional activity have been centered in APRAMP, an organization that works for the prevention and eradication of sexual exploitation and trafficking of human beings. Rocío’s work in APRAMP started with street action as part of the mobile unit; in 1995 she was made general coordinator of the organization. In 2016, she was promoted to the role of director of the organization. The goal is to return the freedom, dignity and autonomy necessary to start a life outside of the control and abuse exerted by exploiters.

IVLP Impact Award Project: REVIVE

This project provided young women designers with training to support jobs in the textile sector. Trainers included leaders of the fashion and design world who were committed to sustainability and business development for the participants. The training provided practical resources and opportunities for women to re-enter the labor market effectively, while also empowering them so that they can effectively stand up for themselves in their work and in their lives.
