PFNP working with members of the neighborhood
The governing elite controls all the mass media
and exports a distorted view of black women’s reality.
The PFNP has directed its efforts so that voices
of these women - including true torments they
live - is known worldwide.
This is the way to establish ties of collaboration
and fraternity with other organizations that also
fight against racial discrimination.
After so many years of not being able to intervene
is such spaces - to be able to unmask the Cuban
government, the PFNP will denounce the violations perpetrated against Afro-descendants before
these international organizations.
The PFNP works with other organizations inside
and outside Cuba, so that our society can awaken
with another frame of mind and a better future.
We women , particularly black women, will be on
the front lines - as by that time we will be prouder
to be black women.
We PFNP members are aware of the fact that the
race problem in Cuba has no simple solution.
However, we are also sure that we should continue fighting the difficult fight and seriously examine Afro-Cuban roots so we can trace the path
that will lead us to the true justice and equality we
are demanding for Afro-descendants and all of
Cuban society.
