translated from Spanish: Katiuska Rojas, president of the college of Matrons and Matrons of the MRI: “We were formed from the heteronorm”

The president of the school of Matronas and Matrons of the Metropolitan Region came to the study of El Mostrador to discuss, in a new chapter of the Fourth Wave, about the agreement signed by the entity and the Movilh, which aims to “protect the rights of women and sexual diversity,” this is because new generations are “asking please, that we address the situation, let’s talk about them and train ourselves.” Katiuska says the obstetrics career is created by necessity, women died during labor and the situation was unsustainable. “Midwives are born as a profession to support the reproductive process, birth,” he says. But not only that, today they also cover issues of sexuality, according to Rojas, what “is no longer a taboo” in society and adds that the race is unique in the world. “There are no midwives in other countries.”
The agency’s president also spoke about the increase in HIV/AIDS rates in the country, stating that this is a reflection of not having spoken about sexuality before. “It is important nowadays to take preventive measures, rather than to go to treat the problem when you already have it there aroused, that is the person who is living with HIV you do the therapy, but how do you take care of the generations that come and who are addressing their sexuality d from a very young age?” questioned the professional. 
Currently midwives and midwives in Chile are dedicated to accompanying and advising women in decision-making on their sexual and reproductive rights in an informed manner, but over the years, she feels more and more the need to learn about the dives sexual ities. 
From the above, the historic agreement signed with the Movement for Homosexual Integration and Liberation (Movilh) was born. “This for us is also new to us we were never trained from the undergraduate degree how to clinically treat a trans woman or a trans man,” Katiuska Rojas said, adding that “we were trained from the parrot.”
