Women, on the other hand, have had a secondary role and their existence has been justified only in relation to that of men, however, women in the history and in the history of our country, have vindicated the idea that women have a position in society and that is not a position of inferiority, the fight for equality is a feat that the women of the world have built for centuries and that we are going to continue building ” she stressed.
