Suhayla Bazbaz Kuri is a Mexican political scientist dedicated to human rights, social justice and participatory democracy. She founded Community Cohesion and Social Innovation in 2009 to strengthen community ties and promote inclusive, rights-based, community-led development across Mexico. Passionate about collective action, Suhayla combines research, advocacy, and capacity-building to amplify community voices.


Suhayla leads regional initiatives such as #LetThemKnowThatWeKnow, addressing power and information asymmetries affecting Indigenous and Afro-Mexican peoples, women, youth, people with disabilities and persons in mobility in decisions about their territories and megaprojects. She also participates in Latin American collectives that advocate for authorities, businesses and financial institutions to meet their human rights obligations, and engages in demonstrations and dialogues on institutional violence against women. 

Suhayla was the Spring 2026 Social Innovator in Residence with the ERA Chair in Social Innovation and the DESIS Lab at NOVA SBE.
