Monrovia, September 18, 2022 - In the morning hours of today, the members of the Diplomatic Mission of Cuba in Liberia exercised their right to vote in the referendum of the new Code of the Families that took place, with all rigor and in compliance with the Electoral Law.
On this day, 123 electoral constituencies established for this purpose held the process in the foreign service.
The Family Code is, in general, a code that places love, affection, solidarity and responsibility at the highest level of family values. It also highlights the principles of social justice, non-discrimination, humanism, ethics, equity, solidarity, free development of personality and the best interests of boys and girls, making it clear that sexual orientation, gender identity, skin color, religious beliefs and disability should not be, in any way, what makes the difference, nor are they categories to determine whether we are better or worse human beings.
It is a modern tool that breaks with patriarchal canons and dignifies all human beings, without any type of discrimination. It is a regulation that is on a par with the laws on families in other countries, such as South Africa. It is a text that defends the highest values of socialist morality.
