Rosa María de la Garza Ramírez (also known as 'Rosi Orozco'), born July 6, 1960) is a Mexican Activist who’s cause is the fight against Human Trafficking in Mexico. From 2009 to 2012 she served as Deputy (Congresswoman) of the LXI Legislature of the Mexican Congress representing the Federal District.[1] She held a number of committee positions, including president of the Special Commission for the Fight against Trafficking in Persons.[2][3] She campaigned for a change to human trafficking laws and was a key player in the passage of the General Law to Prevent, Punish and Eradicate Crimes of Human Trafficking and to Protect and Assist the Victims of This Crime, in 2012.
After her time in congress, she became a fulltime activist dedicated to the protection of victims of trafficking and to continue pushing for stronger legislation.
Out of her own volition, Orozco asked to be investigated by the Central investigation for special causes agency of the State of Mexico City’s District Attorney office; after accusations came from a sitting senator that she was profiting by government funds and of having a network of companies on behalf of her relatives to obtain contracts and agreements for public resources, all of these accusations came within the context of a strong opposition to reformes being pushed through in the Senate that would gravely affect the current Law and would set traffickers free. Rosi Orozco was found to be clean of all the accusations. [4]
