El rol de las ONG de España en el internacionalización de la causa de las Damas de Blanco. Estudio de caso: Solidaridad Española con Cuba (2005-2012)

Abstract

The interest of this study case is to demonstrate the role of the NGO Solidaridad Española con Cuba in the creation of a transnational advocacy network of the Ladies in White, a dissident Cuban social movement. This, after recognizing that the support from this and other international organizations and institutions are very important to achieve social demands given by Ladies in White, from the events of the Black Spring in 2003. These organizations and the social movement both, claim that there has been a systematic violation of human rights of dissidents in this country, and also an oppression of their demands, which has made that international support became the key to future change.
