Daniel Berezowsky Ramirez is a writer, human rights leader, and LGBTQ advocate whose personal and professional life has been shaped by a commitment to expanding equality and challenging systems that exclude.
In 2018, Daniel and his husband, Jaime Chávez Alor, made history after successfully suing the Mexican government for denying them the right to marry at the Mexican Consulate in New York because they were a same-sex couple. Their landmark legal victory became the first case recognizing the right of Mexican same-sex couples to marry at Mexican consulates abroad, paving the way for a change in policy that now allows marriage equality at Mexican embassies and consulates around the world.
Professionally, Daniel has spent more than fifteen years working in the field of business and human rights. He currently leads Human Rights and Environmental Due Diligence initiatives at Amazon and previously worked with international organizations and nonprofit organizations advancing responsible business practices and human rights. He holds a master’s degree in International Affairs from Columbia University.
Daniel lives in New York City with Jaime and their son, Oliver.
