Delegation from US’s League of Women Voters Visit Cuba

Havana, Cuba, Feb 25.- A delegation from the South Florida League of Women Voters (LWV) headed by its president, Deirdre Macnab, met on Thursday in Havana with the president of the Cuban Friendship Institute (ICAP), Kenia Serrano, in Havana.

Serrano welcomed the group that is visiting Cuba as part of the LWV’s initiative “Know Your Neighbors” and praised their decision to know at first hand about Cuba’s reality and to share experiences with the people of the Caribbean nation.

She explained that women’s integration into society is one of the most important achievements of the Revolution and she highlighted the large presence of women in the Cuban Parliament and ahead of ministries and important national institutions.

During the meeting, the visitors received information on the current process to upgrade the Cuban economic model and on the limitations resulting from the almost 50-year-old US financial, economic and trade blockade of Cuba.
