During the first part of the 20th Century, women in Cuba had achieved a similar status with that of other Latin American countries, such as Chile. In 1993 Cuban women received the vote. In 1934 the percentages of Cuban women working outside the home were higher than many Latin American countries. Women in Cuba had been chosen to Cuba's House of Representatives and Senate, serving as mayors and judges among others. Years later, the discrimination on the basis of sex was prohibited and called for equal pay for equal work. In 1959, the Federation of Cuban Women was recognised by the Cuban government as "the national mechanism for the advancement of women in Cuba". Nowadays, according to the Cuban Constitution, the state guarantees women the same opportunities and possibilities as men.
communism in Cuba is in favor of women, because they want equality social status for men and women. women are important as much as men.
ReplyDeleteI think that if Cuba believes strongly in the Communism, and they adopt this sociopolitical movement as what they are, they can't just not permit or allow women to do the same things as men do. Also, they would have to allow, and actually they do, to do the same things as men, to work and earn as equal as men, to be parents for equal and not just the women take the job as mother and father. The new political progresses that this country has improved, is a clearly proof that this country is considering more the job and the potential of women, and taking out the old thoughts that women had to be at home doing housework.

My first impression of reading this articule was omg. I can't believe that women had the same right as men. Maybe is because all the things that happen in Cuba or the things that people say. But is good to know that women can fight for their beliefs.
ReplyDeleteBut if women of the ladies in white can't march and said what they wanted in this case were is the equiality of express theirselves. I think in Cuba there things that women definitely can't do.

I think that "Ladies in White" are fighting aganist something really unfair and that's great! but they have not be treated as they should. As Claudia says... if cannot express what they want, where is the eality? Felipe ☺
ReplyDeleteI actually still don't get "Ladies in White", but it's interesting to see the progress in Latin American coutries. Irina

ReplyDeleteIt`s very good to know that in this country the things are improving through the time because women deserve that and much more!
ReplyDelete"Ladies in White" have to continue fighting for justice.. because without justice there is not peace!!!. Carla Azocar
I think that cuban's women got the rights to vote in 1934, during the Hundred Days' Government.

Cuba is a communist country, the issue of women's rights, is very similar to Chile, giving an emphasis to equality and the right to vote.

I think that the hole idea of LADIES IN WHITE,is an strongly way that women,in this country have for fighting agains all those unfairs things that those human beings have to live with here in cuba.
ReplyDeleteI think that there are a lot of stereotypes about Cuba but they try to create a system which women and men have the same rights before the law that's a huge advance for a nation under a communist government which has made many violations of human rights

ReplyDeleteAsian cultures are far more different from what we are used to. It is clear that is really unfair for Chinese woman to experience all that but, I do not blame men. They have an extremely different way of thinking and if you are born at any place, you are taught what is done there. As China is really old, you can't pretend to change their culture in just some years especially when they have been treating women like that for centuries. Another fact is that women are raised like so even there are women trying to fight their rights, there are some that are used to it and are fine with it. Maybe for us is incredible how they are treated but for them maybe not. I do think women deserve the same rights as men and this is happening, but we can not avoid the difference in culture.

Cuba has the communism as their politic and it helps women about the equality of rights! I don't like this style of politics... but the Cuba's goverment try to give the same rights to men as women.

When i read this article i was speechless because i hadn't got any idea about women in Cuba although they are a communist state they are worried about giving the same opportunities for women and men that's fantastic and i realised that there are a lot of positive things in that system not everything can be bad
ReplyDeleteAnyela Salgado
As Anyela I didn't have a clue about cuban women or their rights. Also, I thought that everything in a Communist state were bad, but as I can see everything have good and bad stuffs. I think we should take the good points.

I really love this cheerful people, I have a cuban friend who makes me laugh a lot and gives me pure energy during my sad days. However I do not like their president, he is just a dictator how long does he pretend to be at the goverment?
ReplyDeleteI feel sorry about cuban people who only wants to be free and do whatever the want as in too many other countries. Just as i said in too many other blogs women must be respected but I guess I coundn't be possible util the stupid dictator dead or finnally decided to go home and take care from his grandchildren..
DOWN WITH FIDEL!

ReplyDeleteI agree whith Belén... The cuban goverment must be chaged soon!!

I think that the women in Cuba has several rights,
ReplyDeleteand this is good, because all the women around the world are competents.
I agree with the Cuban Constitution, the state said, that women has the same rights and possibilities as men.

It is hard to think that in Cuba women have as many rights as men. After all I totally agree because women in every part of the world can make many similar things as men. I didn´t know how late it took women to get the right to vote, I´m very surprised about this but probably it is due to the political system.
ReplyDeleteMauricio Araos
Is incredible how women have been incorporated into industrial, agricultural, and professional occupations and how they reach for top positions like doctors or dentist, is more difficult to me believe that most of this type of occupations have been taken by women. My only regret is about the political right to vote, just in 1993 was given to them.
