Cuba: Off-Colour Remark in Red Light District  · Global Voices
Janine Mendes-Franco

babalu is appalled by a remark that Mariela Castro (director of Cuba's National Center for Sexual Education) makes in an interview with Radio Netherlands during a visit to the red light district in Amsterdam, saying: “[She] enjoys a hearty laugh at the expense of Cuban women who are forced to prostitute themselves by exchanging sex with construction workers in order to fix a bathroom because they have no money. The vile repulsiveness of the Castro dictatorship's elite cannot be made any clearer.”
