五年后,巴切莱特回到智利并成为一名地下人权活动分子。后来,父亲对国防问题的执着激发了她的兴趣,她决心在华盛顿和智利进行该领域的研究。 In 2000, Bachelet was named health minister by current Chilean President Ricardo Lagos. Two years later, to the surprise of the armed forces establishment as well as Chilean society, she was named Latin America’s first female defense minister. Ironically, she temporarily worked from an office that once belonged to Pinochet. "One of the barriers to full democracy has been the fault of understanding between the military world and the civilian world," Bachelet has told the local press. "I wanted to be a bridge between those two worlds." 2000年,巴切莱特被当时的智利总统里卡多·拉各斯任命为卫生部长。两年以后,她被任命为拉美国家的首位女国防部长,这令智利武装部队以及社会民众大呼意外。讽刺的是,她在曾一度属于皮诺切特的某办公室里临时办过公。“通往完全民主道路上的拦路石之一就是军界和民间的隔阂,”巴切莱特这样告诉当地媒体,“我想成为这两个世界的一座桥梁。” If elected, she will be one of the few women in South America to gain national office on her own merits rather than by carrying her husband's political torch. That is a groundbreaking achievement in a society where just 35 percent of the female population works. Bachelet will also be the first atheist and divorcee to assume the top slot in a country where 76 percent of the population is Roman Catholic and where divorce was legalized only a year ago. Bachelet has three children from two men. She refuses to discuss her marital status, saying it's a private matter. She has, however, said that one of her goals in life is to walk on the beach holding the hand of her lover. 一旦当选,她将成为南美少数靠自己的功绩获得政府公职的妇女之一,而非靠丈夫的政治火炬带路的人。这在一个只有35%女性劳动人口的社会中是一个突破性的成就。在一个76%的人口都是罗马天主教徒而且离婚在一年前才开始合法的国家,巴切莱特也将成为首位拔头筹的无神论者和离婚者。巴切莱特有三个孩子,来自于两次婚姻。她拒绝谈论她的婚姻状况,说那是隐私问题。然而她曾说过她的一个生活目标是和她的爱人在沙滩携手漫步。 Bachelet's political track record has included a focus on women's rights in a region where millions of females remain uneducated, silent and under the control of their husbands. As defense minister, she increased the number of women working in the armed forces. As health minister, she legalized the sale of the morning-after pill by prescription. Some other new laws that she supported have transformed Chilean society: the divorce law, a law banning sexual harassment in the workplace, and a law making domestic abuse a crime punishable by more than a decade in jail. During the presidential campaign, she promised subsidized childcare, expanded support systems for abused women, and a cabinet in which 50 percent of the members would be female. "Women can be closer to the people's needs," she argues. "We are more concerned about the citizens who want the politicians to be more ethical, and people expect that from women." 巴切莱特的从政记录中包括了对某地区妇女权利的关注,在这个地区,数百万妇女一直没受教育,并无声地忍受着她们丈夫的控制。作为国防部长,她增加了在武装军队工作的妇女人数。作为卫生部长,她使根据处方销售女用口服避孕药合法化。她支持的其他一些新法规已经改变了智利社会:离婚法、禁止工作场所性骚扰的法律、以及把家庭虐待作为一项可处以十年以上监禁之罪行的法律。在总统竞选期间,她承诺增加儿童福利、扩展受虐妇女的援助体系、以及组建一个女性成员占50%的内阁。“妇女能更了解人们的需要,”她主张,“我们更关注民众,他们希望政治家更有道德,而且民众也对妇女有着那样的期望。” Neither Bachelet or Pinera is likely to shift the direction of Chile’s economy, which grew by a robust 6 percent last year. Indeed, Bachelet's agenda is mainly oriented toward social change. She wants to establish a code protecting workers, a ban on discriminatory regulations in the public sector and legislation that would provide working women the right to nurseries for their children. As one of her first steps, she says, her government would open 800 new or remodeled nurseries during the first 100 days of her government. Bachelet— her "I am with you" campaign slogan is aimed at the underprivileged—is also planning to provide subsidies to finance and expand kindergarten education and increase the number of scholarships available to needy students. Other promises include a program to provide free hospital health care for over-60s; funding for retraining over-40s who lose their jobs and Bachelet announced that she will create the first Chilean Ministry for the Environment. |
