Her articles in publications such as La Marea, El Español and SModa have earned her recognition as one of the journalists who have made the greatest contribution to the feminist revolution. In 2017, she presented a report in the Spanish Congress of Deputies on the media coverage of the Juana Rivas case. Her work to promote human rights and defend women's rights has earned her many awards and recognitions: the Institut de Drets Humans de Catalunya award, the La Buena Prensa award, the Associació de Dones Periodistes de Catalunya award, the Caleta award from the Sub-delegation of the Government in Malaga, the Farola award from the Instituto Andaluz de la Mujer, the Communication Recognition from the Ministry of Equality, the Cross of Merit from the Spanish Civil Guard, the Emilio Castelar award and the Móstoles Town Hall award in honour of her career.

She has also participated in the groundwork on women's rights for the Human Rights Plan of Catalonia. She has published Cómo informar e informarse sobre violencia machista (How to inform and be informed about sexist violence) and, most recently, No Manipuléis el Feminismo, una defensa contra los bulos machistas (Don't Manipulate Feminism, a defence against sexist fake news) (Espasa). In a few weeks, she will publish Los hombres de Federico (Federico's Men), a novel in which Federico García Lorca's leading ladies try to secure women's rights, after having published Las mujeres de Federico (Federico's Women) last year.

She was one of the professionals who participated in the Telecinco documentary Rocío, contar la verdad para seguir viva (Rocío, Telling the Truth to Stay Alive), where she provided background information on gender violence.
