Brazil elects Dilma Rousseff, nation's first woman president.
Brazil's new president-elect vowed to continue her predecessor's move to fight against inequality and promote human rights and fight poverty in her victory speech Sunday night.
"My mission is to eradicate poverty," Dilma Rousseff said after the country's Supreme Electoral Tribunal declared her the winner in Sunday's runoff election.
As the nation's first woman to hold the office, Rousseff said she has a mission to fight for more gender equality in Brazil.
"I hope the fathers and mothers of little girls will look at them and say yes, women can."

The Guardian
A former Marxist rebel who was jailed and tortured during Brazil's military dictatorship last night became the first female president in her country's history.
In her first speech as Brazil's president-elect, Dilma Rousseff, who polled 56% compared to her rival's 44%, vowed to eradicate extreme poverty in one of the world's most unequal countries.
An estimated 135 million Brazilians went to the polls yesterday to choose between the 62-year-old economist, who was the handpicked successor of Brazil's Workers' Party (PT) president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, and José Serra, a 68-year-old former health minister who was running for president for the second, and almost certainly last, time.
Speaking at a victory rally in the capital, Brasilia, Rousseff told jubilant supporters: "We cannot rest while Brazilians are going hungry, while families are living in the streets, while poor children are abandoned to their own fates and while crack and crack dens rule."
The Guardian
O "The Guardian" é um jornal britânico, que circula de Segunda a Sábado. O texto do jornal britânico fala que uma rebelde marxista presa e torturada pelo sistema militar(ditadura) se tornou na noite passada a primeira presidenta na História de seu país.
No seu primeiro discurso como presidente eleita, Dilma Rousseff, que totabilizou 56% comparados aos votos de seu rival 44%, prometeu erradicar a pobreza extrema em um dos ´países mais desiguais do mundo.
Dilma disse: "Nós não podemos descansar enquanto existirem brasileiros com fome, enquanto famílias estão vivendo nas ruas, enquanto crianças pobres estão abandonadas a sua própria sorte, enquanto o crack dita as regras."
In a First, Brazil Elects a Woman as President
Brazil — Dilma Rousseff was elected the country’s first female president on Sunday, as Brazilians voted strongly in favor of continuing the economic and social policies of the popular president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
Ms. Rousseff, who served as Mr. da Silva’s chief of staff and energy minister, joins a growing wave of democratically elected female leaders in the region and the world in the past five years, including Michelle Bachelet in Chile, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner in Argentina and Angela Merkel in Germany
In her victory speech, Ms. Rousseff pledged to focus on eradicating poverty, which she described as an “abyss that still keeps us from being a developed nation.” She has indicated that she favors giving the state greater control over the economy, especially the oil industry, potentially steering the country further to the left.
