Marcela Martínez was born in La Paz, Bolivia. At the age of 10 she joined the Ramna Bolivia Mission. At the age of 14, she was the youngest instructor trained by Sixto Paz Wells. From an early age she maintained two seemingly contradictory constants in her life: a passionate political career and the constant discipline of spiritual development around the Sacred Lake Titikaka.

On June 4, 2012, her world changed drastically when she was confronted with the kidnapping of her daughter Zarlet. For the past 12 years, Mar (as she is affectionately called) dedicated herself to searching for her daughter and gradually prepared for the moment of having her back with her.

As a lawyer, she specialized in the defense of human rights in general and women's and Mother Earth's rights in particular. She also trained in transnational crimes and opened the Social Responsibility Area of her law firm called “Zarlet Ilumina”. From there she promotes the #RedAlertaTempranaZar, to search for missing persons, with more than 18 thousand volunteers, projects for the prevention of human trafficking, training for authorities in victim care and free care for victims of trafficking and violence. 

She is currently a Keeper of the NinaZonko Women's Circle, heart of fire, specializing in healing feminine energy and pain memory of survivors of human trafficking and violence. Mar is also a Master Woman Coach, Master Speaker, Moom Mother, among many other qualifications.

The U.S. Department of State recognized her with the Tip Report Heroes 2024 award for her outstanding work for the freedom of survivors of human trafficking and the search for missing persons. In 2025 she was able to open her Freedom for All Human Rights Foundation.
