thumbThe Federation of Cuban Women ((スペイン語:Federación de Mujeres Cubanas)) (FMC) was established in 1960 under the revolutionary government with Vilma Espín as its president. Espin fought in the Sierra Maestras with Fidel Castro and Raul Castro and married Raul in 1959. She was the president of the FMC till her death in 2007. The FMC was deeply involved in the 1961 Cuban Literacy Campaign and in supplying workers after the mass exodus of trained labor following the Revolution. A few of the stated goals of the FMC are: * Bringing Women out of the home and into the economy * Reorganizing peasant households that keep women in subservient positions * developing communal services to alleviate domestic work and childcare * providing equal opportunities for women * mobilizing women into political work and government administration * providing adequate working conditions “to satisfy the particular needs of the female organism and the moral and spiritual needs of women as mothers."〔Harris, Colette, “Socialist Societies and the Emancipation of Women: The Case of Cuba. “ Socialism and Democracy 9:1(1995)91-113. Print.〕 ==FMC & The Cuban Literacy Campaign== The Cuban Literacy Campaign was a national effort to eradicate illiteracy in Cuba following the 1959 Revolution. Shortly after the Revolution, motivated by patriotism and sustained by political will, Fidel Castro declared that illiteracy would be eradicated within 1 year. Accordingly, during 1959 and 1960 the groundwork was laid for a mass literacy campaign, La Alfabetizaticion.〔McCall, Cecelia, “Women and Literacy: The Cuban Experience” Journal of Reading 30:4(Jan.,1987)318-324. Print.〕In the year leading up to the campaign, the FMC was charged with identifying illiterate women and convincing them to participate. During the campaign itself “figures indicate that more 91,000 women participated with the FMC in La Alfabetizacion. Thousands of women became teachers and other cared for the young boys and girls ages 11-16, who formed the Conrado Benitez Brigade.“〔McCall, Cecelia, “Women and Literacy: The Cuban Experience” 〕 “On December 22,1961, when Cuba was declared a “territory Free of Illiteracy” 55% of the 700,000 new literates were women.〔McCall, Cecelia, “Women and Literacy: The Cuban Experience” 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Federation of Cuban Women」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
