I am more than a political prisoner. The accusations against the landless are not based on the law. The persecution is entirely political. Today thousands of women live on the roadsides or in rural settlements. Much changes from the moment that she leaves her house and becomes involved in the struggle.
Women have a very important role in the encampments both in the leadership and in other tasks.
One of these tasks is the education of the children even when the classes are under plastic. Another is helping the other women when they become discouraged. I would like to remind you that the flag of our movement has figures of both a man and a woman on it. Machismo must be seen in its historical context. Changes do not come about from one moment to the next.
