For the president of the Republic, that women have spaces of freedom and personal discovery is fundamental because it allows them to break with the ties that in many homes generate domestic violence, social deterioration and frustration. For that reason, he asked that all women seek to make their economic projects reality.
“Today, upon opening new spaces for access to credit, a woman will be able to begin her own project, her own business without fear. Decide to do it, don’t be afraid, you will have the mechanisms and the support to make it happen,” he said.
