In the state of Cojedes, the act of installing the Parliamentary Network of women was carried out, complying with the guidelines of the national leadership of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) and the Vice Presidency for women headed by the Minister of Women and Gender Equality, Diva Guzmán.
This network aims to be a meeting point and a platform for all women parliamentarians at the national, regional, municipal and community levels to continue fighting for the claim of rights, the visibility of the struggles and the creation of an instrument that has to to do with the social protection of women.
Geraldine Tovar, state commissioner for young women of the Jpsuv, pointed out that this will be a space to guarantee the active and leading participation of women, starting from the bases to strengthen the leadership that “our women have in the communities, in the Units of Bolívar Chávez Battle (UBCh), in each of the various municipal political teams,” he said.
Likewise, she emphasized that the network will be a space so that through the debate of the laws that are aimed at guaranteeing the well-being of the people, they promote the social protection of women, “to guarantee feminist socialism, a more just society where all let’s have greater inclusion,” Tovar stressed.
For his part, Jhon Moreno, organizer of the PSUV in Cojedes, accompanied the event and congratulated the women for their organizational level, and also expressed his satisfaction with this meeting, which he said was filled with much mysticism, joy, and patriotic love.
She stressed that the women in Cojedes are the vanguard in terms of political organization, “I must admit it, that is why I could not stop coming to this meeting, not only to listen to them but also to leave homework, to delve into some topics of great interest with them.” Moreno pointed out.
The community members, regional legislators, national deputies, workers, women from party structures at the street level, community, and UBCh are in permanent deployment with the popular assemblies of women in the territories “to continue accompanying the struggle and resistance that Venezuelan women are giving in the midst of the great difficulties that exist in front of our country, as a consequence of the financial and economic persecution that is being carried out against the country”, said the Organizer.
Also, Moreno stressed that it was Commander Chávez who incorporated women into political life, “something that was biased in the previous governments of the Fourth Republic. The opposition parties that today lead the regional and municipal government institutions are mostly men, because they do not believe in women, that is why women are waiting for the opportunity to demonstrate through the vote that in Cojedes it is fundamental and necessary a political change of the Governorate and the opposition mayoralties”, he explained.
Moreno pointed out that women feel cared for by the national government through Hogares de la Patria and the bonus protection system, “education, health, that is why they are anxious for that moment to come to give support to the president Nicolás Maduro”, he concluded.
