Gender Equality Will Only Be Reached If

Chile Needs To Unite Behind The Goals Of Reducing Poverty And Creating More Equal Opportunities So That Everyone Can Benefit From What The Country Has To Offer.

Educational Equality Doesn't Guarantee Equality On The Labor Market. Even The Most Developed Countries Are Not Gender-equal. There Are Still Glass Ceilings And 'leaky Pipelines' That Prevent Women From Getting Ahead In The Workplace.

Gender Equality Must Become A Lived Reality.

There's Full Consensus In The Military That Women Shouldn't Be In Person-to-person Combat. I Don't Know If We Have Enough Experience To Know Whether This Is The Right Approach. But Women Can Be Elsewhere. We Have Mandatory Military Service In Chile. I Pushed For Women In All Areas.

I Made An Effort To Ensure Social Safeguards. But Our Economy Has To Grow - And Chile, With A Population Of 17 Million, Cannot Depend Entirely On Its Domestic Market.

For A Long Time, Chile Has Been Successful In Combating Poverty. But Now We Must Focus More On Fighting Inequality.
