Disabled and "revolutionary" Cuban accuses the government of failing to guarantee her access to work.

A mother with a disability made a public complaint about the lack of job opportunities and the abandonment of her social case by the government of Santiago de Cuba.

Isis Castañeda sent a message with her testimony to independent journalist Yosmany Mayeta, who noted that this is a unique case because it not only reveals the difficulties this woman faces due to her disability but also the increasing inability of the State to guarantee the well-being of its citizens.

The protagonist of the complaint said she feels "revolutionary" and grateful to the government for being able to become a Law graduate, but she has been unable to work for nearly four years due to the lack of a wheelchair and many institutional obstacles she has encountered in her job search.

"I feel upset, I am hurt because I didn't think I would go through such bad times after having worked hard and studied for five years for my career. 'How long do I have to keep waiting to be given the place I deserve in this society?'" she asked.

She assures that despite having a "brilliant employment record," she has been blocked repeatedly from accessing decent employment, worsening her economic situation and that of her seven-year-old son.

"Wherever I go, they impose a blockage on me so that I don't work, so that I feel discouraged and lose the way to keep moving forward," said Castañeda.

This Cuban believes there is a lack of coherence between the government's official discourse and the reality faced by disabled people in the country. She feels excluded when it comes to finding employment.

She has requested a meeting several times with Beatriz Johnson Urrutia, the president of the Provincial Government in Santiago de Cuba, but she has never been received, which reflects the disconnection between the authorities and the urgent needs of the citizens.

This case highlights the failure of public policies aimed at guaranteeing basic rights, such as access to work, especially for people with disabilities.

In a society that claims to be inclusive, it is alarming that professionals like Castañeda, trained within the system itself, do not receive the necessary support to support their families.

Castañeda's situation is just one example of what many Cubans suffer, who, despite their efforts, find no real solutions in a country where the scarcity of food and the limited access to basic products becomes increasingly suffocating.
