Global News Post #6: Chile

“Bachelet urge a invertir en la salud y el futuro de mujeres y niñas”

“Bachelet encourages investment in the health and future of women and children”

 

This article examines Michelle Bachelet’s proposal in a recent United Nations session. In this session, Bachelet stresses the importance of major international investment for providing health services for all women and children. In addition, she stresses that the future of women and children should be given more importance and international focus, as they are two fundamental cores of every nation. Bachelet, who was president of Chile from 2014-2018, has been using her time out of office to focus primarily on her role of promoting investment for women and children around the world. Some of her primary goals have been to provide all women with resources for legal abortion as well as emphasize anti children work policies. In the end Bachelet suggests that every women and child should have the right to a handful of resources that are more important than political agendas.

 

This article comes from the online digital newspaper “El Mostrador”, which is known for its generalized and center point of view. I feel that Bachelet’s insistence of abortion rights was given a fair and positive light because it fits with the center left political view of Chile. With this being said, I liked that I was able to get this perspective from the article because I know that other traditional right newspapers would shine a negative light on Bachelet. This is so because Chile’s current President, Sebastian Piñera, is anti abortion. Having experienced both sides before, I feel this was a great example of having balanced sources.
