María de Lourdes Alcívar intervened for the first time in an official event and said that “we must fill ourselves with love and love will stop us”, among other things.
The Government of President Guillermo Lasso announced the increase in the budget for the eradication of violence against women from $ 1.5 million to $ 24 million, during the launch of the campaign “From indignation to action”, for the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, which is commemorated this November 25.
Lasso also confirmed that the Unique Registry of Violence (RUV), which was pending for three years, since the approval of the Law against Violence against Women, will work soon due to the joint work between the Executive Branch and the Judicial Branch.
The president pointed out that Credits at 1% interest and a 30-year term that will be given from January 1 of next year will be delivered with an emphasis on women and thinking about the “violet economy”, Because economic independence is one of the factors that stop violence.
In addition, the president signed a Executive Order which declares the defense of gender equality as a national priority and provides for better inter-institutional coordination for the eradication of violence against women.
The communication campaign “From indignation to action” will result in advertisements that reflect violence against girls and women in the workplace, family, recreation and the streets; and makes available the Web page www.delaindignacionalaaccion.gob.ec so that women know what they can do in cases like those exposed.
Among other actions, the Secretary of Human Rights, Bernarda Ordóñez, reported that each province is expected to have one “violet house“To which women can turn for support and advice, as a” safe place “in cases of violence.
The wife of the president, María de Lourdes Alcívar, intervened for the first time in an official event of the Presidency. With two sheets containing the ideas for his speech, he began by welcoming everyone and saying that “It is a great day to celebrate women”, So what “The most important thing that can be as a woman is the wonderful fact of having life, that is something that makes us powerful”.
“If you see something that is not right, be brave to say it and things will change, because you help the other (…). We must not be silent, at the first aggression we must denounce; But before reporting, I say, try to seek help immediately, because reporting is okay; I agree with the Government, because the Government is responsible for that very important part of accepting these complaints, of trying to help, but always with that greater help, that psychological help, help that goes much further, that does not remain in the The complaint itself, because if the indignation does not turn against the other and that is the foundation (…). We have to base our lives on values, fill ourselves with love and love will lead us to say ‘no, I’m going to stop today’. Then everything is going to change … ”, he pointed out.
Alcívar recounted part of his coexistence with the president to exemplify how to act in cases of discomfort in a couple: “If Guillermo is a little upset, I prefer to go to the right and I am going to make my life. I am happy; It may be that he will tell me for a little while. But from there I return, and love and forgiveness come first. But, if at home we live in the eternal battle of man and woman and never forgive, then we will never get out of this same mess and we will end up hurting and killing ourselves, that is the reality, if we do not take the actions, women, we are props in our homes ”.
Among other ideas, the president’s wife added that education in the family is essential to eradicate violence against girls and women, that reducing the number of 70 women killed in the first six months of the year to zero could depend a lot on the same women , which is a task of society as a whole, men and women, that “The compliment is fine, but neither is the rudeness”, what should we “Fill us with love and love will stop us” So what “The most important thing, as a woman, is that we can have life and that makes us powerful”.
