[Applause]

When I was a girl I was happy

Grandmother always protected me

always I brought me a doll like me

He gave a lot of love and maybe without knowing it and

I am a brave person and with many

dreams at age 14 he met a

young who in difficult times

I was there to protect and four years

then we decided to get married and although

this man at the beginning of marriage

she also treated me like a doll

little by little the circumstances of

our lives and mature became

a nightmare because I like many other

women that I knew I felt victim

of intrafamily violence in little

time finished with my self-esteem

it cost me a lot of time and a lot of work

I learned to love myself when I achieved it

life changed

we know that sadly the violence

lives every day in Mexico two of each

three women have been violated for their

couple re- loving him half the

desire to continue dreaming and fight for a

better future

that’s why in 2012

they summoned many women who live in

vulnerable areas to create their own

business 80 women started with this

process

three years after those women 80

women who started only 23 managed

graduate

today to almost two years at graduation

only six women continue with a

active project

these women are here between

It’s one of them

[Applause]

I want to tell you a little

I want to share with you about

how I regained my self-esteem and I learned

to love me I recognized that I have many

skills and that with these skills

I can do beautiful things

Well, with my job as a seamstress

I thought I have to do something for me but

also something that allows me to help

people and think about people

who suffer some kind of

discrimination

it is so that stitch by stitch is

designed a collection of bush dolls

who represent all kinds of people

and they are very beautiful, this is

doll represents the people who

are fighting cancer or

better yet

she won the battle this doll

represent the people who have

disability motor disability and for

I am very special

This doll was designed in a

little person who lived 27 years with thorn

bifida and that left me great lessons

of life a very important that always

whatever happened was a surprise

sugar are representing people

that for their skin color they have been

discriminated against me happened to me I felt

very bold but it’s worth it

these represent the people who

they have to live under the laws rules

of its uses and customs and that also

for that reason he is denied opportunities

those gentlemen is called discrimination and

a lot happens

this is like many other dolls

have allowed their manual processing

I got to Miami reconstruction for

elaborate them , several

steps the first imagine thinking that

can achieve great things

the second step is to select love

that already had in me allowed me to win

allows me to better select the

people who contribute something positive

my life allowed me to also take

Good decisions

For several years he has participated as

volunteer in several organizations

where he did not receive a peso in exchange

but if I receive training workshops that

they taught me many things they taught me

to listen to let me help, they taught me

to forgive myself and forgive my

wife taught me to replicate those

learnings that those workshops learn

take them to my home and with them change

the dynamics at home after this

process and in the cut and cut that you order

violence cut to stop being cold

and little affectionate with my children because the

impatience they had dealing with other

people

courteous to the limiting thoughts and

also why not cut with those

friendships that do not leave you anything good

after these cuts the next

step is to join pieces

these pieces is that transforms my

life respect understanding and

communication in couple in offering help

whoever needs me to teach him

my children all that is worth

this is how all the people of the

world simply because there is also a

improve every day as a person feels

very pretty

the last step is the carving in this

step pretends to stop being a woman

ordinary how to become a

extraordinary person

I intend to replicate what I have learned and

what not to try that my stories do not

be repeated and in my family and in

people who are close to him

I think that this whole process has achieved

great things in me I do not know what it would be

of me if this is not going to come to my life

and simply what I want is with what

I generate beautiful thoughts

beautiful feelings in people

but also generate opportunities for

more women than today are like

I was once without a doubt

Having regained self-esteem was the

key that allowed me to change my life

Today I have returned to feel happy so happy

as when I was a girl

thank you

[Applause]
