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