From the organization's national headquarters in Havana, she also discussed the exchanges that will take place with young people on drugs, pregnancy, and violence, intergenerational dialogues with founders and grassroots leaders, a colloquium on justice, and meetings at maternity homes.
There will also be volunteer work days for food production, the inauguration of children's playhouses, plenary sessions with social workers, and activities in homes for the elderly and children without parental care.

She emphasized the commitment of the last such meeting, held in March 2024, to continue promoting public policies that benefit and protect women in Cuba.
Since its founding on August 23, 1960, just months after the triumph of the Revolution and under the leadership of the beloved Vilma Espín Guillois (1930-2007), the FMC has embraced women's causes and emancipation, becoming a powerful weapon in the fulfillment of the nation's noblest tasks.
