Deyci Alejandra Oma\u00f1a Ortiz<\/strong>, better known by her former stage name Amaranta Hank<\/strong>, has been elected as a senator in Colombia\u2014marking a highly unusual political rise from the adult entertainment industry to national office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 33-year-old, who previously worked as a journalist before entering adult films in 2017, left the industry after two years and transitioned into politics. She was elected in March as part of the left-wing Historic Pact<\/strong> coalition and has now been sworn into office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Campaign focus and agenda<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ortiz ran on a platform centred on rights and protections for adult-content creators<\/strong>, arguing that workers in the industry often face exploitation and lack legal safeguards. She has called for improved access to social security, regulation, and labour protections<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She has also pledged to push for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Better\u00a0mental health services<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Stronger policies to\u00a0prevent sexual abuse<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Greater inclusion of marginalised communities in policymaking\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Response to criticism<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Addressing backlash over her past career, Ortiz has challenged what she describes as double standards<\/strong>, questioning why former adult performers should be excluded from public office. She argues her experiences provide insight into inequality and the informal economy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Political context<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Her election comes during a period of political transition in Colombia. The Historic Pact\u2014associated with outgoing president Gustavo Petro\u2014remains a major force in the legislature, while a new conservative president is set to take office. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
