The deputy of the National Assembly (AN) María León, expressed that in the draft Organic Law for the Equality and Equity of Women and Men, the historical struggle of social movements is recognized.
This was indicated by León this Thursday in an interview with VTV, in which he specified that the regulations include “everything that is pending, what was proposed to us in the 1999 Constitution.”
In this sense, she explained that with the Magna Carta “we achieved equality, and this principle has to be reflected in the laws of the Republic, however, there are undeveloped articles, for example, the political parity 50 and 50 is pending, and is established in this Constitution.”
She indicated that in the case of the bill, article 88 “is the historical recognition that we have always been workers. They used to say housework, that the housewife was a supported person, but Chávez’s Constitution recognized that we have always been workers”.
The parliamentarian pointed out that the project will enter into discussion, and in the dynamics she will receive new contributions.
León, who chairs the Special Commission for the Study of the Causes and the Eradication of Machismo, affirmed that “one day we will declare Venezuela a territory free of machismo.”
He explained that on October 25 they delivered to President Nicolás Maduro what the boys and girls are doing, because inequality is overcome from school. “This work focuses from the school to eliminate inequality.”
