How tough is it to be a woman in Latin America?

Imagen
 Although one of the missions of the blog is to empower women and help them recognize their strength, it does not mean that we are "super heroines" or "robots" capable of doing absolutely everything. We are what we are, women, human beings who deserve not only to go far, but also rest and help. Although the wage and labor gap is narrowing in Latin America and more and more women are getting master's degrees and top positions, they are also being put to the test to find time for children and home care.  Why is it that school presentations or meetings are always attended by more mothers than fathers?

Violence against women in the era of terrorism

Imagen
  It is well-known amongst peruvian people the damage that terrorist movements caused in our country, leaving thousands of casualties, families destroyed, massive economic crisis and a terrified population in such level that our parents remember such times as if they would’ve happened yesterday. Peruvians will never forget the fear of leaving the house and not coming back again, the fear of walking across a car that turned out to be a car bomb, or simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time and getting your life taken out of nowhere.
