"We have invited companies to provide designs as terms of reference on how to build a social center. A social center must have programs that meet the needs of society."

"Often times we keep them at home due to our culture, and they do not go out or have activities. A social center can serve as a morning services center, where they are picked up in a bus and go to the center to learn art, dance, celebrate their birthdays, or reconnect with others they may not have seen in years."

"They will find doctors, dentists, opticians, etc., that can provide these free services. It would be a way to make their lives dignified."

"There are many who have no recreation. ... After school they can go to these centers to learn something new or study with mentors who can help them with homework. They can also have food without being asked about their economic status."

"The center will help her help herself. These centers are very important for this ministry and the people of Equatorial Guinea to serve as the first place one goes when one seeks information, help, support, etc."

"When we look at women during the years of dictatorship, we saw that the woman did not have her own identity. But since 1979… the first call made by the President was to rebuild and provide our knowledge towards a better Guinea. He made an emphasis on women, for the woman to be trained and educated. When a woman is trained and educated, she can give more than when she is not."

"We used to lose girls in primary and secondary education,” Minister Ecoro said, “but today with a change in the law, girls can choose careers that were traditionally man dominant. That is a great advancement. In the business world, we see many women entrepreneurs."

"The countries of the African continent should take the example that is leading our country in the sense that we must continue to support women, but putting an emphasis on their education and training from an early age"

"We are aware that the consequences of slavery, the slave trade, and colonialism, and in particular poverty, underdevelopment, marginalization, social exclusion, economic disparities, instability and insecurity, major endemic and pandemic diseases, AIDS, malaria, sexually transmitted diseases, trafficking in women and children, affect people in developing countries much more. Therefore, we urge that the international community in general, and the countries that have benefited from the atrocities committed by racism, the slave trade, etc., must now agree and adopt measures in favor of our countries that have been victims."

"Racism is a stark reality. A simple historical timeline reveals its origins in 439 with the Theodosian Code, the Roman Decree of 1557, the Himmler Decree of 1938 and its Order of 1943, the Alhambra Decree of 1492, the Intercatera Bull of 1493, the Declaration Act of 1705, the Punishment of 1640, and the Black Code of Louisiana of 1724. All these realities are what motivated our Constitution in its Article 5, paragraph a, to impose as foundations of Equatorial Guinean society the scrupulous respect for the human person, their dignity, freedom and other fundamental rights, whose extension is developed in its Article 13."

"The consequences of these racist tragedies create serious challenges to peace, global security, human dignity, and the realization of human rights and fundamental freedoms for people in the world, and particularly for Africans and other populations of African descent."

"In my country, the Republic of Equatorial Guinea, and as confirmed by our delegation to this World Conference against racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and other forms of associated and related intolerance, the states, organizations and governments that were involved in and/or benefited from slavery, the slave trade and colonialism must immediately restore the honor of our peoples and states by immediately undertaking the following actions, among others"

"I woke up this morning to heartbreaking news. Evangelina Filomena Oyo Ebule, Second Vice President of the Chamber of Deputies, has passed away in the Kingdom of Spain,"

"one of the pioneers in the fight for equal opportunities in Equatorial Guinea."

"Let women play the role they have to play and Africa will move forward, our states will move forward, our institutions will move forward. Women are the key."

"As a woman leader, of course my cause, the one I defend, is that of the participation of women in all respects. In all social, political, and economic spheres. This is the reason why I fight. I fight particularly for women in the economic sector because I believe that the economic sector is the “driven force,” the driving force behind development."

"As a member of parliament, I was able to understand the real problems of the population; I was able to understand the real needs of the population of my country."
