- After four years of learning and speaking to anyone she could about the topic, she realized that without a strong law, this crime could not begin to be eradicated.

- She held a number of committee positions, including president of the Special Commission for the Fight against Trafficking in Persons.

- Rosi Orozco was found to be clean of all the accusations, and thus has taken legal action against the Senator.During the Global Sustainability Network Summit in February 2019, the Secretary of Human Rights of the State of Mexico communicated that the agency that he heads would postulate Orozco as a candidate to the Nobel Prize for her trajectory as a Human Rights activist.
