Aminta Granera

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Aminta Granera was a Nicaraguan Sandinista who fought against the Nicaraguan dictator Anastasio Somoza Debayle in the 1970's. She was training to be a nun when she became a Sandinista.

In 1992, she and María Lourdes Bolaños, another ex-Sandinista, convinced President Chamorro to open Women and Children’s Police Stations as a response to violence against women. The first station opened in 1993 and there were ten functioning by 1996.

She was sworn in as Nicaragua's police chief on September 5, 2006 in Managua, Nicaragua.
