One o f the most bitter legacies of
the Somoza regime was the destruc
tio n o f the education system in
Nicaragua. More than 50% o f the
Nicaraguan p o p ula tion over ten
years o f age are unable to read or
write. In some areas o f the country
this figure tops 90%.
One o f the firs t acts o f the
Government o f reconstruction and
the FSLN was to announce the
N ational Literacy Crusade which
begins March 30. The Crusuade has
as it ’s goal, the elimination o f illite
racy in Nicaragua, by mobilizing all
in the country who can read and
write to go out and teach others.
The Nicaraguan people know that a
new Nicaragua can only be built
with the active participation o f a
literate well-educated population.
The Association o f Nicaraguan
W omen,
“ Luisa
Am anda
Espinosa”
(named
after
a
re vo lu tio n a ry fig h te r kille d by
Somoza’ s national guard) was
founded in September o f 1977 to
defend human rights in Nicaragua
,__,
E L
and denounce the brutal crimes of
the Somoza d icta to rsh ip . It
organized mass meetings o f protest
and demonstrations and called for a
national women’ s week in March
1978. It became a mass women’ s
organization which organized large
open air gatherings, petition cam
paigns, and demonstrations. Many
women p a rticip a tin g
in the
W omen’ s Association were also
working with the FSLN to defeat
Somoza. A fte r the victory o f the
Sandinistas, the Luisa Amanda
Espinosa worked to begin re
constructing the country.
A rticle II, Section three o f the
Statute
on
the
Rights
of
Nicaraguans says: " A ll persons are
equal before the law, and have the
rig h t to equal p rotection. There
shall be no discrimination on the
basis o f b irth , race, co lo r, sex,
language, religion, opinions,
economic position, or any other
social c o n d itio n .” A d d itio n a l
statutes provides working mothers
time o ff with full pay before and af
ter birth, and the right to child care
provided by the state while she is at
her place o f work. The Association
o f Nicaraguan Women is working to
see that all these provisions are im
plemented as well as helping to
rebuild the country.
The Portland Nicaragua Support
Com m ittee has been w orking to
provide information about the new
Nicaragua and to aid in whatever
ways possible the on-going re
construction efforts in that country
since A p ril 1979. The Committee
has sponsored several slide shows,
film showings, benefits, and public
speaking events.
