Adrianis Beltrán is studying Law at the Universidad del Magdalena, Colombia. Her training is focused on human rights, cultural diversity and the environment, an axis that shapes her outlook on the subjects AcidReport addresses from a global geopolitical perspective, with particular attention to Latin America.
She is the first woman on AcidReport's editorial team, a fact that introduces a perspective hitherto absent from an outlet built predominantly by male viewpoints. This training naturally positions her in relation to the issues running through Latin America as a whole, from forced displacement and environmental justice to the struggle of women and the diverse community, through to territorial violence against indigenous peoples, with Colombia standing as one of the most documented settings, though not the only one. She also belongs to the generation that grew up immersed in the digital world, a decisive condition for the role she will take on at the helm of PILAS, the short video format through which AcidReport addresses young Colombian audiences. Her native familiarity with the codes of social media, combined with the rigour proper to her legal training, allows her to translate complex content into accessible language without sacrificing precision. This dual competency, legal and generational, defines the specific contribution she brings to the new project.
