The sectoral vice-president of Politics, Citizen Security and Peace, Diosdado Cabello Rondón, said that Commander Hugo Chávez empowered Venezuelan women from the first moment, “she is the face of all problems.”

In that regard, he recalled that at the time when the pseudo Venezuelans who were asking for sanctions and blockades against the country, “the first affected were Venezuelan women, because they don't eat if their son hasn't eaten, she doesn't sleep if her son hasn't slept, if her son is on the street, that woman spends all night awake.”

“If your son left (the country) because of the pressure of the manipulative campaign, the hearts of Venezuelan women broke out. It was the first major blow struck by the attack on the People of Venezuela, because it is also the one that stands up at home,” he said.

“It gave rights to those who could not read or write in this country because they had no ID and were taught and they learned to their will and conscience to read and write. They returned their right to choose, then they went to high school and then to a career,” he emphasized.

This was stated in the Long March for the month of violet and against violence against women, in the central sector of San Félix, in the Simón Bolívar parish of the Caroní municipality in the state of Bolívar.
