Addis Ababa, August 23, 2023. The role of Cuban women in the revolutionary process and the imprint of Vilma Espín Guillois were highlighted today by the State Mission of Cuba in Ethiopia, on the occasion of the 63rd anniversary of the FMC.
Ambassador Jorge Lefebre recalled that, with the emergence of the FMC, this population sector had its space in the economic, political and social activities promoted by the Revolution in its early years. He explained that the organization created spaces for the improvement of girls and women of the Caribbean island, especially those who before January 1959 did not have resources for education or employment.
With the FMC, headed by Vilma Espín Guillois, it is impossible at present to talk about the Cuban Revolution without mentioning the accompaniment of women in construction, industry, science, defense, culture, sports, among other sectors, he emphasized.
"Every August 23 is a reason to pay tribute to Cuban women, to Vilma, to Celia Sánchez Manduley, wherever we are," the diplomat concluded.
