Cuban Civil Society

Cuban civil society refers to the network of organizations, groups, and individuals engaged in social, cultural, and community activities outside the government’s direct control. It includes NGOs, religious groups, grassroots movements, and independent journalists that work to express diverse views, advocate for rights, and address societal needs. Despite government restrictions, these groups play a crucial role in fostering civic participation, promoting social change, and providing an alternative voice in Cuba’s political landscape. Civil society thus acts as a vital component of democratic engagement, even within a context of limited political freedoms.
