dbo:abstract
  • La condition des femmes à Cuba est liée à l'histoire politique et économique de l'île, elles jouissent de nombreux droits qui permettent leur accès aux soins de santé, à l'éducation et à la vie politique. En avance sur les autres pays de l'Amérique latine, les autorités autorisent le divorce dès 1917 et les femmes cubaines obtiennent le droit de vote en 1934. Toutefois la majorité d'entre elles restent pauvres et analphabètes. Avec la révolution de 1959, la mise en place de mesures sociales pendant les décennies 1960 à 1980 favorise l'éducation et l'intégration professionnelle des Cubaines. La crise économique des années 1990 a cependant vu le retour de la division sexuelle entre travail salarié et travail domestique et le regain de la prostitution féminine au contact du tourisme. (fr)

Many women in Cuba come from different racial backgrounds including Afro-Cuban women. Along with Afro-Cuban women, women in Cuba, formerly a marginalized group, were able to gain higher educational levels and equal advancements in their respective careers. The 1975 Family Code was designed to allow Cuban women to share the household duties fairly with their spouses. Job opportunities were available in the cities and as a result, many Cuban women left the countryside to work and live in the cities. However, because of the increased number of Cuban women studying and working, the national birth rate has declined. Despite the fact that desegregation was enforced in Cuba, there are still some issues in regards to fair housing in Cuba. (en)
