Life

Gloria Godoy was born on 26 March 1943 in Asunción.[1] She is the niece of Adán Godoy Jiménez, Minister of Health under Paraguay's dictator Alfredo Stroessner.[2]

She is married to the broadcaster and celebrity Humberto Rubín, owner of Radio Ñandutí,[2] and they have four children.[1] She herself worked for Radio Ñandutí.[3]

In 2008 Gloria Godoy de Rubín was appointed minister for women in the government of Fernando Lugo.[4] She objected to an invitation to Luga's inauguration being extended to Nicaraguan president Daniel Ortega, who was accused of raping his stepdaughter Zoilamérica Narváez.[5]

After the 2012 parliamentary coup removed Lugo as president, Rubin offered her resignation, but eventually elected to stay on as minister under Federico Franco.[6] In 2013 president Horacio Cartes replaced her as minister, appointing Ana María Baiardi as minister for women.[7]
