For me, a better democracy is a democracy where women do not only have the right to vote and to elect but to be elected.

I believe that if you want to fight inequality you have to do it starting at infancy.

People see I am a mother and head of a household. Today in Chile, one-third of households are run by women. They wake up, take the children to school, go to work. To them I am hope.

Chile needs to unite behind the goals of reducing poverty and creating more equal opportunities so that everyone can benefit from what the country has to offer.

You have to be doing things that matter - responsibility, but also responsibility with epic and beautiful and noble tasks.

As more and more women, men and young people raise their voices and become active in local government, and more local leaders take action for the safety of women and girls, change happens.

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