According to President Chávez, the main reason the mission is focusing on mothers is because they have been traditionally taken for granted in society.

“These women [do] so much work ironing, washing, making food, cleaning and raising their kids,” Chávez said.

For many people the an-nouncement of this mission’s launch was met with a sigh of relief.

The pair decided to make the split permanent and Landy moved to Hawaii. Front Page UPI Page Want to use this article?
