What did the Havana ladies do?

The Havana ladies, often referred to as "Las Damas de Blanco," are a group of Cuban women known for their peaceful protests advocating for human rights and political freedoms in Cuba. Founded in 2003, they initially formed to demand the release of their loved ones imprisoned during a crackdown on dissent. Dressed in white, they march through Havana carrying flowers and images of political prisoners, drawing international attention to their cause. Their actions have symbolized resilience and nonviolent resistance against the Cuban government.
