Success Stories

Itandehui Berenice Candido Jiménez

I joined CEI in my second year of high school. We are a family of four. My mother cleans houses and my father works as a bricklayer. During college I worked at a small cyber café and later for a professor at the university, which helped me learn more about my field of law.

I want to be a defense attorney and focus more on crimes against discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community and discrimination against women. I did my mandatory social service with the Oaxaca State Specialized Prosecutor's Office, where I learned that many people with limited economic resources do not receive good legal advice. I want to defend all those that "justice" ignores.
