Cuban women demand human, civil, and political rights, all kinds of freedom, as well as the end of the absolute governance of the Communist Party of Cuba.

The election will be regulated by the 1992 Electoral Law, which allows for emulating elections in a regime where all major political decisions are made by the Communist Party elite.
