It is a non-governmental organisation that works for the full exercise of sexual and reproductive rights of all people, with special attention to women and groups that are in a situation of temporary or permanent vulnerability: young people, migrant people or people with disabilities, among others. In addition to working to ensure that laws and social norms promote respect for sexual diversity, bodily autonomy and the experience of sexuality without coercion or other types of violence, the FPFE provides services related to sexual health and sexuality. These services are aimed primarily at vulnerable groups and include information, counselling and accompaniment both from our centres, including youth centres, and in alliance with public and private entities throughout the country. SEDRA-FPFE is made up of associations and individuals.  

The National Center for Sex Education (CENESEX) is a teaching, research and assistance institution in the area of sexualities. CENESEX was founded on December 28, 1988, when the first resolution on the creation of the institution was issued. Later, other legal norms have specified its social purpose. It was created as an institution of the Ministry of Public Health (MINSAP), but it is the result of the institutionalization process of a previous experience, that of the National Working Group on Sex Education (GNTES), which was created in 1972 at the initiative of Vilma Espín as president of the Federation of Cuban Women (FMC), and whose main objective was to develop and monitor the implementation of the National Sex Education Program. Open to scientific research, exchange of experiences and dialogue of knowledge, CENESEX has professionals of recognized prestige from different scientific disciplines that address, with a comprehensive approach, the study of sexualities.   Twitter Instagram
