We have had scarce investment in women... One of my tasks is that everyone spends much more on women.

I don't like stereotypes - no kind of stereotypes.

During my lifetime, I realized that discrimination was not accidental, that there were structural roots and causes to it. So if we wanted to change women's lives, we need to deal with those root causes.

The priority for my government is that there will be development for everyone, equally.

We need to have a broad debate so that the new Chilean constitution is representative of everyone. I am convinced that it cannot just be developed by an expert group. First, people at all levels will be given an opportunity to provide input. They should be allowed to express their opinions about the kind of society they would like to live in. That's the kind of open process I would like to see. The issue at hand here is finding unity on the greater rules. Afterwards, a text will be developed and presented to parliament.

Gender equality must become a lived reality.

I took a gamble to exercise leadership without losing my feminine nature.
