Soma Rights

Alexandra Kroenert is the founder of Soma Rights. Her work brings together children's rights, reproductive justice, education, and responsible technology. She holds a BA in International Relations and International Development and an MA in Childhood Studies and Children's Rights, with academic and practical training in ethical and participatory research with children and young people. During her studies, she focused extensively on bodily autonomy, comprehensive sexual education, and rights-based approaches to working with children and youth.

She has worked across organizations in the fields of children's rights, women's rights, human rights, and LGBTIQ rights and has extensive experience working directly with children and young people in diverse contexts, including the design and facilitation of workshops. Her academic research has addressed issues such as the practice of female genital mutilation, as well as youth-led forms of expression and agency. She later led the software development of a reproductive rights app used by tens of thousands of users in Latin America and the United States, bridging rights-based education with accessible digital tools in real-world contexts.

Alongside her professional work, Alexandra has a long-standing engagement with creative and activist practices. She draws, paints, and works with photography and has a particular interest in analogue and tactile forms such as zine making, collage, and print-based media. She has also worked on a permaculture garden project on the Portuguese coast and is deeply engaged with animal rights and political activism. These interests shape how she approaches participatory education and research, bringing creativity, care, and a practical, hands-on sensibility into the way she builds learning spaces and digital tools.
