Development opportunities for women

The Dominican woman has no limits when it comes to achieve their goals, no matter the area where to propose her. In politics he has obtained substantial Laura.

Nina Rodriguez, spokeswoman for the Office of assistance "President Hipólito Mejía", is an example. Their energies are guided to submit proposals for the benefit of women and to support the programs of the presidential candidate. Although for many it may be surprising that a woman is immersed in the politics and defend with as much passion right as a citizen, Nina is an example that it is possible to find those who are interested in the topic.

How did you become interested in politics?
, Even in my childhood, was always concerned about these issues. I am passionate about politics and more than that, fight for the improvement of my country sorry as a responsibility. There are many myths which punish the fact that women in politics; say u000aIt is something corrupt and dirty. Really we should be guided by these words, we must break with that, for this reason I am here.

what proposals they offer to women?
With regard to women, have been very open in the project giving way to new people, professionals, people who want to contribute to the country, in terms of social commitments and training. Hippolytus has always been interested in the subject of women. Let us remember that in the last Government was the first time that the unmarried woman was given importance and gave aid at that time required. Now, the woman is decisive, a 51.19% of the Dominican population; but it is a little behind, I would like to give a message of empowerment.

Does what direct and concrete projects ready for women's Party?
Will give us a very important participation in training and development of various plans such as: polytechnics, u000apreparation of plans at university level, races, occupations that really could develop generating ways of earning a life and that this will actually rely on older and better jobs. One of the priorities is security. This is an issue that has to do with guarantee of rights and we are paying close attention to the organisation of projects to benefit of this part. We have a law on protection, but as we see the increase in violence against women. In this issue being taken to make what is a project of Government of guarantee of those rights. In other words, that really at the level of women is working very individually and appreciating its importance.

Many young people and adults are somewhat hopeless people, with very little desire to vote on 20 may, what you think of those people whose decision is not vote?
Always a percentage of people who choose u000aabstain in the vote. You made a comment to a friend that, today, if you do not you get in politics, it gets you. There is a misperception that politics is for politicians and that is incorrect. All citizens have the right and the duty not to remain silent. Therefore, each person must go to vote and decide in hands who is going to put the country. It is a social commitment.

Is no doubt he has done MARGARITA Fernandez CEDEóO in the area of health, what projects has Government of HIP "LITO MEJÍA to offer in this area"?
Made several campaigns in the area health, not only here but around the world. I think that all the institutions, both private and public, foundations and centres, need to work hand in hand. There is no doubt that will continue to work with private institutions and also at the public level, because we do nothing to help a Foundation when we see u000adoctors are on strike and Hato Mayor people come to a hospital and they may not receive assistance. It is not only the "boom" mercadológico what you are doing for these foundations, we must look at something deeper. In terms of advertising are has been criticized much Hipólito Mejía, because he does not believe in make boasts of what it does.

Do you think as a member of the Office for assistance on the problem of the migration of women and Haitian children in Dominican soil?
Must be a nation for Haiti project. However migration policy have not been created. Specific policies on the issue of Haitians have not been created, but opened a University. Then, we ask, is this the priority? We are we doing blind eye. As a society we must opt for a change in this area.

Finally, Nina tells us: "like women, as mothers, those who read" u000aRemember that we must make a conscious vote. I appeal to the analysis, if you believe that things can change, participate. "They are part of the change."
