Virtual Forum
The Martin Luther King Center in Cuba, along with the Cuban Association of the United Nations (ACNU) and the Oxfam Program in Cuba, invites you to join next Thursday, May 27th, at 10 a.m. for the Virtual Forum: Right to Live Without a Blockade. The forum is part of the launch of a new Oxfam report on the impacts of U.S. sanctions on the Cuban people and on the life of women.
The report details how the U.S. Blockade against Cuba hinders development and Cuba's ability to carry out projects, it limits the development of capacities, the people's leadership, and the full exercise of their rights - particularly those groups that are most vulnerable. The report emphasizes the experience of women, illustrating the impacts of the Blockade on the Cuban population over these last six decades, and even more intensely, in this current moment of the global pandemic.
