New declaration by Tod@s Contra La Violencia (All Women Against Violence)

By NegraCubana

We appreciate all the cooperation and contributions received at this early stage of the campaign Tod@s Contra La Violencia. Signatures of support will be collected until Friday, March 15, although this space will remain open to your comments and eventually distribute articles of interest to the struggle against gender violence in Cuba and the world.

Those who have tried to discredit this campaign are determined to free Angel Santiesteban from any blame and force us to accept his personal agenda, if not his personal opinions. They are even reluctant to admit that we have sufficient good judgment and capacity for action to carry out, of our own free will, as simple a citizen’s action as defend the rights of women who have suffered from violence.

Convinced that we need legislation against gender violence and a system of legal and health services for the victims as much as we need permanent public discussion about this topic in every social forum, ranging from schools to the media, we will continue extending our influence to other fields.

Once this stage is finished, we will take the debate to other areas in the hopes of getting the relevant institutions involved and fostering discussion and have a law against gender violence approved.
