politician Colombia

Iris Marín Ortiz is a prominent Colombian lawyer and public official who was appointed as the Defensora del Pueblo in August 2023. Her election marked a significant moment in Colombian politics as it was the result of a terna composed solely of women, an initiative by President Gustavo Petro aimed at promoting gender representation in high-level positions. Marín has a strong background in human rights and social justice, having previously worked in various capacities within the public sector. Her appointment has sparked discussions about gender equality in public office, particularly in light of legal challenges questioning the exclusion of male candidates from the selection process.
