Early life and education
editCarmen Vildoso was born in Lima, Peru on March 3, 1956. Her mother, Aurora Chirinos Pizarro, is a renowned biologist and zoologist, specializing in the investigation of fishery biology in the Sea Institute of Peru and the defunct Ministry of Fishing.[1] Her father is Abelardo Vildoso Baca, who served as Director-General of Administration of the Ministry of Fishing during the 1980s.

Career
editAt the start of Alejandro Toledo's administration, Vildoso was appointed Deputy Minister of Promotion of Employment and Micro and Small Business. She resigned in July 2003.[3]
Vildoso was appointed to the Ministry of Women and Social Development as part of a government reshuffle following Jorge Del Castillo's cabinet resignation on October 10, 2008. She was sworn on October 14 under Yehude Simon's cabinet leadership. She had been serving as Technical Secretary of the National Accord since 2004.[4]
In her brief tenure as Minister, she was characterized as a low profile public servant who constantly expressed discrepancies regarding irregular situations involving the government, as she did based on her stance with the Amazon political crisis, which led her to resignation on June 8, 2009.[5][6][7][8] She was succeeded in the Ministry by Peruvian Aprista Party congresswoman Nidia Vílchez, who was switched from the Housing Ministry to Women and Social Development.[9][10]
