Cuba will create a Gender Observatory that will include updated records of feminicides and other expressions of <\/span>sexist violence<\/span><\/a>, events on which there is no public statistical information system so far, the Federation of Cuban Women (FMC) announced this Friday.<\/span><\/p>\n

The general secretary of the FMC, Teresa Amarelle, confirmed in a press conference that the methodology is still being studied for the Observatory, with which they seek to \u201cdemonstrate the country\u2019s reality\u201d in terms of gender-based violence.<\/span><\/p>\n

For the creation of the Observatory the entity will request advice from the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (CEPAL), explained the Cuban official a meeting in which the National Program for the Advancement of Women was presented, whose objective is to promote gender equality.<\/span><\/p>\n

The institutional gap in statistics on gender-based violence has been covered during the last two years by civil society groups that publish updated figures, and that recently warned about the increase in women\u2019s violent deaths during confinement due to the coronavirus pandemic.<\/span><\/p>\n
