Mexico City Mayor Clara Brugada Molina has appointed Tania Morales Olvera as the president of the Council to Prevent and Eliminate Discrimination (COPRED) for the 2026-2030 term. The appointment followed a selection process involving the organization’s Consultative Assembly.

Morales Olvera is a lawyer, art historian, and activist recognized for her work defending the rights of transgender and non-binary youth. Her legal background includes securing a federal injunction that allowed a minor to modify their birth certificate to recognize their gender identity. She succeeds Geraldina González de la Vega Hernández, who served as president for eight years.

Upon her appointment, Morales Olvera noted that while legal protections exist, “cultural change is a job that must be done every day” to prevent ongoing discrimination.
