According to her, the notebook "was born with the aim of training little girls. It proposes to improve their character day by day and helps them grow as people." Years later, the controversy arose that the notebook contained conservative and sexist messages about sexual freedom, femininity and obedience as fundamental values. This was because Paulina was a member of Opus Dei that is she has vows of chastity, poverty and obedience to the branch of the Catholic Church.

Abuse and rape of women are very frequent news in Chile. Women got tired of staying in silent and now they are denouncing on social networks all the men who have abused them. This demonstration called "Funa" started in November of last year. Thousands of women's testimonies of rape, sexual abuse and mistreatment by men began to appear because in past times these testimonies weren’t credible by the community. One of the cases that shook women was of Antonia Barra. She committed suicide after Martin Pradenas has sexually abused her. In this moment she was in a condition of vulnerability because she had drunk a lot of alcohol and Pradenas took advantage of her. The case went to court which the accused claims to be innocent after five girls testified that Martin Pradenas had also raped them. In Chile, men who commit sexual abuse and mistreatment of women are released even though evidence shows otherwise. This shows that rapists walk freely on the street and we are exposed...

This photo was taken in Puerto Montt. I and my friends met up in the city centre at 4 p.m. to walk and eat ice cream. Suddenly, while we were walking we saw the youtuber Pollo Castillo and we were in shock because we had never seen him in person, we only watched his funny videos on social networks. The craziest thing was that he was just filming one of his videos in the city. There were a lot of people looking at him and asking him for photos. We came up with the idea of ​​also asking him for a photo but we were very embarrassed to talk him. We started to discuss who will ask him for the photo. Finally my friend Joaquín dared and asked him for a photo with all of us. He said, "Okay, no problem. Do you want a selfie?" and we said "yes!”. After that moment we were able to continue our walk.

It’s obvious that gender stereotypes are still present in society but, how do we end them?  The solution is education. Most people are afraid to end them for the opinion of others. As human beings we always tend to judge the appearance, actions or words of the rest and we don’t realize that we inhibit their freedom of expression. So, we must educate people, especially children, to leave this prejudice called “gender stereotype”. Although it’s difficult because constantly the publicity and the communication media promote how a woman and a man should be and behave. To generate this change, we must start by tearing down sexism.
