Venezuelan
President Creates Women's Ministry
Caracas --
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez announced
on Sunday the creation of a ministry of
women and dedicated his Sunday TV-radio
program "Alo, Presidente" to the Women's
International Day.
Chavez announced the creation of a ministry
on women and equality of gender will be
charged by Maria Leon, however the ministry
still does not has an official name, and
Chavez suggested to call it "People's Power
for the Women and Gender Equality."
"With this decision this organization will
have financial budget and a more complex
structure with more repercussion in its work
on women," Chavez said.
Chavez also dedicated his weekly opinion
article in the official daily "Ultimas
Noticias" to Venezuelan women.
"Today I dedicate these lines, with all the
force of my homeland passion, with all the
sublime fire of my love, of my loyalty and
of my dreams for a better world, to the
selfless and fighter Venezuelan women,"
Chavez wrote in the article.
"Without the real women's liberation, it
will be impossible the full liberation of
the peoples and I am convinced that a truly
Socialist must be a truly feminist," Chavez
said.
