The donation, which includes powdered milk, baby diapers, and hygiene products, was collected thanks to several women’s rights organizations.

The WIDF’s global vice president, trade union activist and former Colombian Minister of Labor Gloria Ines Ramirez, stated that the organization stands in solidarity with Cuban women and the entire Cuban people, who have faced the effects of a blockade imposed by the United States government for more than six decades.

“The blockade is a unilateral policy that violates fundamental principles of international law and the Charter of the United Nations, with direct impacts on the daily lives and social rights of the civilian population,” the official affirmed.

She stated that Cuban women demonstrate strength and resilience in the face of adversity and, nevertheless, continue to actively contribute to social and cultural life.

“The FDIM denounces that the blockade policies deepen the social and economic burdens faced by women and demand attention, resources, and opportunities that are increasingly restricted by external pressures,” she emphasized.

B Additionally, she acknowledged Cuba’s long-standing tradition of solidarity with other countries, especially regarding its commitment to international cooperation in health, education, and social development.

As part of the event, a letter was also read highlighting the resistance of the Cuban people, especially women, an example of dignity for the rest of the world, hence the call to the international community to redouble its solidarity with the Caribbean nation.
