The results of last year’s municipal elections reveal that 44.2 percent of the delegates to the Municipal People’s Power Assemblies are women, while men represent 55.8 percent, according to data available at www.genero.onei.gob.cu.
The National People’s Power Assembly (Parliament), in turn, shows a female majority, with 55.7 percent of its seats held by women, according to the results of the 2022-2023 electoral process.
This growth contrasts with the figures from 1981, when men held 77 percent of parliamentary seats compared to 23 percent for women.
According to the report presented by the OCIG this Tuesday, the analysis of 21 out of 33 indicators monitored demonstrates the progress and challenges the Caribbean island is facing in priority areas for gender equality and the design of more effective public policies.
The website also provides detailed information on the National Program for the Advancement of Women (PAM), including statistics in key areas such as economic empowerment, media, education, prevention, and social work.
