Rainbow Rights in Cuba

A debate about individual rights, peace and hope in Cuba, under the shadow of the US embargo that is crippling the economy.

In Cuba, the progressive family law has entered into force, which legalized same-sex marriages and granted the right to adopt to same-sex couples, married or cohabiting. At the same time, for example, non-profit surrogacy was legalized. What was the democratic process of the law like? We are also debating the situation in Cuba under the pressure of the illegal and cruel embargo, the principles and successes of socialism, and Cuban solidarity activities internationally.

The event will be held live (Viljatie 4 B 3. floor 00700 Helsinki) and remotely via Zoom.

Pre-registration for the live event is not required. The office meeting room can accommodate about 20 people, but we can make separate arrangements if necessary.
