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

In today's interdependent world, a threat to one becomes a menace to all. And no state can defeat these challenges and threats alone.

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.
