The "Vilma Espín Guillois" room of Gender Studies was inaugurated on Tuesday, in front of the mural "When death seduced the Master", located on the second floor of the Jose Marti School Building at the University of Informatics Sciences (UCI).
The meeting was chaired by Dr.Sc., Mariela Castro Espín, a member of Cuban parliament, and Director of the Cuban National Center for Sex Education (CENESEX). Dr.Sc., Miriam Nicado García, Rector of UCI, and Soledad Bauza, Deputy Resident Representative of the United Nations Development Programme in Cuba Representatives of the Cenesex Community Networks, members of the University Council and of the political and mass organizations of our institution were also present in the meeting.
MSc. Ernesto Miguel García González, director of University Extension at UCI, read the Resolution concerning the nomination of the room, which School 1 will be in charge of, under the presidency of its dean, MSc. Delly Lien González Hernández.
In her speech, González Hernández expressed the pride for looking after a place that bears Vilma’s name, an unquestionable symbol of the insertion of women in the most unimaginable causes of the Cuban Revolution and the fight against women’s discrimination.
It was Dr.Sc., Mariela Castro who cut the ribbon to declare the opening of the “Vilma Espín” room; there she could witness with great emotion the photo gallery, an APK, and a site made by the students from School 1, among other attraction.
