Fiore was born in Nicaragua, a daughter of a family of Salvadoran refugees. As an undergraduate, she studied Philosophy, because she wanted to find answers to vital questions. Philosophy did not give her these answers, but methodological tools, and new questions, related to the multiple histories of Latin America, particularly Nicaragua, and migration and gender studies in Central America. Fiore has worked in civil organizations focused on human rights of migrants and refugees in Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Mexico. After the socio-political conflicts in Nicaragua in 2018, she had to go into exile. That experience has deepened her interest in the diverse and complex realities of Central American migrant and refugee women. The MALAS Program gives her spaces for dialogue and analysis to learn about new interdisciplinary methodologies and theoretical approaches that are fundamental for the study of the relationship between migration, gender and human rights in Latin America.
