Post-presidential Career
In April 2010, Bachelet inaugurated her own think-tank, "Fundación Dialoga". Its headquarters are located in Providencia, a suburb of Santiago.
On 14 September 2010, Bachelet was appointed as head of the newly created body UN Women by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. She took office on 19 September 2010.
Bachelet is a member of the Club of Madrid, the world’s largest forum of former heads of state and government.
Bachelet has not ruled out a return to the presidency at the next elections in 2013. The well-respected CEP poll, released in May 2012, suggested 51% of voters want her to become the next president, head and shoulders above any other would-be candidate.
