Her father was Enrique Ruiz Guiñazú, an Argentine politician who is best remembered for his spell as Minister of Foreign Affairs, International Trade and Worship in the 1940s.
In the years 1976, 1977 and 1978 she worked in Channel 11, controlled by the army. She was one of 16 women journalists who received an award from the Minister of Home Affairs, General Albano Harguindeguy, in August 1980.[3]
During the 1980s she took an attitude of defence of human rights from different organisations. From her radio show, she was the first to give voice to the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo during the dictatorship government. Throughout her career she has shown to be against violence of any sign, with a pluralistic conception of journalism which fit all voices and all positions.
During the democracy, president Raúl Alfonsín elected her to become an active member of the National Commission on the Disappearance of Persons or CONADEP. Ruiz Guiñazú's work in the Commission investigation was highlighted.
