Vilma Espín, revolutionary fighter and defender of the full rights of women.

In the heat of a new anniversary, the Federation of Cuban Women (FMC) has proposed to follow the route of Vilma Espín on the soil of Las Tunas.

Las Tunas, Cuba.- Thus, new generations visit the places where she walked in her desire to expand the female scope in the economy, to listen to the living history that emanates from the eternal representative of the federated women on the Island.

Due to this sort of pretext, which announces various scenarios in all the municipalities of the province, they arrived in Manatí, specifically at the Brígida Ferreiro's house, which was visited by Vilma and Raúl Castro along with other leaders of the country in 1990.

In that residence, located on María Méndez Street, the anecdotes of that day sprouted, when 30 years earlier, the couple used to travel every corner of the nation to hear from simple women and men the expectations of making a better country.

Yaneydis Pérez Cruz, provincial secretary of the organization, highlighted the performance of the federated women of the territory and their avant-garde position in each sphere of social life, especially in the health demands required by the current epidemiological situation.

Isabel Reyes Rosado, a member of the Provincial Secretariat of the FMC, commented to 26Digital that these exchanges with the people who knew Vilma are also used to promote the planting of crops in patios, plots, gardens, and all available spaces, in the interest of contributing to Urban, Suburban and Family Agriculture in the effort to increase food production.

On the eve of the FMC's 60th anniversary, the Vilma route multiplies in Las Tunas and the feelings of women and their indelible commitment to the sisterhood born in August 1960 emerge.
