The dictator Nicolás Maduro led a meeting on Tuesday with members of the National Plan for Humanized Birth and Breastfeeding, in Caracas. Accompanied by dozens of women, the Chavista leader urged them to give birth massively. This, despite the alarming humanitarian crisis that Venezuela is going through and is denied by the regime.HEALTH CRISIS VENEZUELA HUMANITARIAN CRISIS VENEZUELA
“To give birth, then, to give birth. All women to have six children, may the country grow , ” said the dictator in the national radio and television network. “We have to turn the Humanized Birth Plan into a mission. The Humanized Birth Plan has to be taught in primary and secondary ”.
Maduro recalled that this is “women's week” and called to stop gender violence in the country: “I want the people to listen to me this week of women. It is the week of the woman, and I call on all men, to respect and love towards the woman, towards the mother, towards the grandmother, towards the daughter, and towards the partner, towards the couple, towards the wife . The woman is not touched even with the petal of a rose; absolute respect for women. No to gender violence, to stop violence. ”
"Peace for women, peace for the country," added the Chavista dictator. The women who accompanied him, meanwhile, cheered him at the shout of "the man of peace, his name is Nicholas."
Maduro's words quickly generated a strong repudiation in social networks, since the health situation in the country does not provide the necessary conditions for a pregnant woman.
Although Venezuela was the first country in Latin America to pass a law to avoid obstetric violence, reality marks that today pregnant women must go to several hospitals until they find one where they can be treated.
In her report presented last July 2019, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet, remarked that there is a lack of access to all types of contraceptives in the Caribbean country . Even, according to the former Chilean president, some cities suffer a total shortage.
During the August-December period in 2018, cities such as the Caracas Metropolitan Area, Barquisimeto, Maracaibo, Mérida and Porlamar registered 100% shortages in contraceptive patches, implantable rings and intrauterine devices
The report also warned about the problem of maternal mortality due to the lack of qualified personnel to attend the delivery, the lack of medical supplies and the conditions in the hospitals.
To this is added that in Venezuela chronic malnutrition continues to increase. The humanitarian emergency is such that it has long affected the diet of Venezuelans, with babies and infants being the most affected.ENEZUELA NICOLÁS MADURO
A study conducted last year by the Bengoa Foundation indicated that 30% of children between 7 and 12 years of age evaluated in four states of the country had chronic malnutrition.
In November 2019, meanwhile, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) reported that at least 6.8 million Venezuelans were undernourished and warned about the increase in neonatal mortality and children in the country.
According to a study presented in recent weeks by the World Food Program (WFP), under the UN, one in three people in Venezuela has difficulty bringing food to the table and consuming the necessary nutritional minimums. The survey, based on 8375 questionnaires, revealed that a large number of Venezuelans only eat cereals, roots or tubers daily and that hyperinflation has meant that their salaries do not reach to buy the most basic goods.
A total of 9.3 million people, approximately one third of the population, suffer from what is technically referred to as moderate or severe "food insecurity," said the World Food Program, which conducted the study at the invitation of the regime of Mature.
