As a teenager, Ana Baquedano sent a nude selfie to her boyfriend in exchange for a promise to delete it. Instead, he shared it. Ana was bullied, harassed and suffered from depression. But then she got to work making Mexican history. While Ana was still a student, she led a campaign to make 'revenge porn' a crime in her state of Yucatan - and in 2018 the historic legislation was passed. Jo Fidgen caught up with Ana to name her one of the winners of BBC Inspirations 2020.

With music from Jorge Castillo and the Fandango Fusión Fronteriza. Producers: Asya Fouks, Maryam Maruf, Troy Holmes, Andrea Kennedy Editor: Munazza Khan Picture: Ana Baquedano Credit: Courtesy of Ana Baquedano
