This two-pager presents the key findings, emblematic cases and recommendations from Amnesty International’s report *They Want Us Silent, but We Keep Resisting*. It outlines how Cuban authorities use entrenched authoritarian practices and gender-based state violence to silence women human rights defenders, activists, journalists, artists and academics. The document highlights patterns including arbitrary detention, surveillance, harassment, criminalization, physical and psychological violence, and attacks on motherhood and family life. It also sets out recommendations to the Cuban state, UN human rights mechanisms, diplomatic missions, and the European Union.
