Corruption

Eigen speaks mostly about Africa, can you think of some examples in Latin America where corruption may be leading to bad social results?
Yes, Peru is an example where corruption is leading to bad social results. We have had a lot of corruption problems during the last years. Actually there are many examples in Latin america because almost all the countries have problems with corruption, which it is a very sad thing.

Why do Northern countries think that bribery is ok in the developing world? What is the impact on the relationship between the producer companies and developing world in this scheme?
They think that bribery is ok because they are used to see bribery every single day of their lifes. 

What does Eigan mean when he refers to "Soft Power" and "Civil Society"?
When he refers to "Soft Power" he means that is a power that you have over something or someone but it is acceptable. Like just trying to convince them, not forcing them to do something they dont want to. And when he refers to "Civil Society" he means the people that dont work for the government or have contact with him.

What presidential election will you first be eligible to vote in?
In 2016

How important is the issue of corruption to you?
For me, corruption is very very very very very very very very important because if we have a corrupted society people that dont deserve anything would have EVERYTHING and people who deserves everything would have NOTHING and thats a bad situation.

What are you prepared to do about it?
I cant do anything about corruption but i can not be into it.

Gender Violence

1.Latin America has made huge progress in getting women into government, why is violence still such a large problem in your opinion?

• I think nowadays there is still a problem of violence to women due to that, women dont count with that security to stand up and talk by her self. Women feel weak, without someone that could take their back. So it is a big problem because when women show insecurity, men think that they are useless and they think that a woman is not able to govern a country because they are not strong enough for that.

2.What steps can be taken to improve the situation for women in Latin America?

•    I think first they can change their education. With education we can guarantee that the women that have been abuse or something like that will have the security and strength enough .They will also look up for a place were they can be safe, and even know the difference between good and bad. They can also create centers where victims can be supported economically and psychologically. Also they can create a program where police and other authorities are trained to deal with situations linked with gender violence or be able to give security to the women´s in their area.

3.What are some obstacles to taking these steps? In other words, if there is an obvious solution, why is it not being taken?

•    I think that they require money, time and effort. Education is a huge problem in many countries, that is something we need to improve. But the main problem is that some governments don't like to waste money in education.
