Beirut, November 5, 2021. The Equality Association – Wardah Boutros for Women’s Rights – sent a message of condolences to the Federation of Cuban Women on the passing of the outstanding fighter for women’s rights Dora Carcaño.
“It is with great sadness and regret that we receive the news of the passing of comrade Dora Carcaño, the great fighter we have known for a long time, she and we in the Women’s International Democratic Federation, fight to get rid of imperialist aggression and create a humane and equal Society in which the peoples of the world enjoy their right to live in peace and prosperity.” The letter said.
