Gender equality will only be reached if we are able to empower women.

The change of the binominal system is without a doubt, a great advancement, it will allow us to be better represented and have better ideas.

It isn't that women are less ambitious,but women want to find a balance between work, love, and family.

Chile has changed. The people have become more mature and they are more conscious of their rights. They want to participate and have a say about things such as if and where a power plant can be built.

Chile has done a lot to rid itself of poverty, especially extreme poverty, since the return to democracy. But we still have a ways to go toward greater equity. This country does not have a neoliberal economic model anymore. We have put in place a lot of policies that will ensure that economic growth goes hand in hand with social justice.
