🚨Facts about #Cuba 🇨🇺 you probably don't know🚨

On September 25, the whole country will be holding a national referendum to pass (or not) the new Families Code. What's it about?

Here's a summary👇
#YoVotoSí
#CodigoSí Image
On February 2019, the new Cuban Constitution was passed in national referendum, with 86.85% of the population voting for yes.

One of its constitutional provisions stated that a new set of popular consultations and referendum would take place for the new Families Code. Image
After a long process of legislative drafting, with the involvement of academics, cientists and legislators, from February-April a national popular consultation process took place in #Cuba

👉 79k+ meetings were held.
👉 6 million+ people assisted 🤯
👉 397k opinions were counted Image
After the aforementioned process, 47.93% of the draft was modified.

In July, #Cuba's National Assembly met to discuss the new draft (version 25) and set it to a national referendum, which will be held now in September. Image
So, what are the new Code's main ideas? You may ask:

👉 It protects all expressions of diversity in a family.

👉 It protects the right of each person to constitute a family, where principles of equality, non discrimination and human dignity are ratified. Image
👉 It establishes and updates judicial institutions in order to protect human rights in it's widest range.

👉 It recognizes and protects all matrimonial forms, lawful unions, types of philiatory relations, and others.

👉 It promotes and protects gender equality.

👉It protects motherhood and fatherhood.

👉It protects the role of grandparents in the widest spectrum of family relations.

👉 It recognizes and protects children's participation in their growing and learning process. Image
👉 It creates a new wide range of reproductive and adoption opportunities for all the people of #Cuba

👉 And much, much more...

To sum up, Families Code is paramount because it's inclusive, just ,& protects everyone, regardless our sexual orientation, race, gender...#CodigoSi Image
So, don't miss the chance to vote #CodigoSi #YoVotoSí #YoVotoSíPorElCódigoDeLasFamilias Image
Only in #Cuba! 💪🇨🇺🏳️‍🌈

👉Only The President @DiazCanelB can make it happen!

He held a meeting with Jewish and Christians leaders, trans leaders, LGBTQ+ activists, sport champions, intellectuals, academics, and others, to talk about Sept 25 Referendum.

Boxing champion Julio César la Cruz made very emotional declarations about his childhood and expressed that the essence of the Families Code is RESPECT. Image
