00:00For her individual work in the fight against human trafficking,

00:03the Cuban Maria Huerlau, researcher and director of the organization Archivo Cuba,

00:09was recognized by the Human Trafficking Report for 2024

00:13presented by the Department of State of the United States this Monday.

00:18For me, it has been a great honor and a great honor

00:22to receive this recognition from the Department of State and the Government of the United States

00:28for the work of Archivo Cuba and my own,

00:33documenting and denouncing the treatment of people by the Cuban regime,

00:38particularly in the programs of the exportation of workers

00:42and especially in medical missions, although not exclusively.

00:46It is a 15-year work that, over time, has been achieving

00:53certain important fruits, but still very precarious and very initial

00:59for everything that could be done to end this practice

01:04that abuses and exploits Cubans to benefit from a dictatorship.

01:11In any case, it is a great step back

01:14that we hope will begin to be reflected in additional actions

01:19that have to do with the sanction of participants in this treatment,

01:24which are the states and public officials of other countries

01:29that hire these workers knowing that they are being exploited

01:33and that they are victims of an international crime.

01:37The report from the Department of State places Cuba,

01:40along with Venezuela and Nicaragua, at level 3, the most worrying,

01:45for not meeting the minimum standards for the elimination of treatment

01:50and not making significant efforts to do so.

01:54On the other hand, a few years ago, I think this is the third year

01:59that Cuba is in a special category in which the states are marked

02:04which are the participants of the treatment.

02:06In other words, it is the same Cuban regime

02:09that is practicing labor exploitation.

02:15In the countries of the Cuban mainland,

02:18labor exploitation is an increase in the number of people

02:22and in the number of workers.

02:24In Venezuela, the state is the largest producer of labor

02:26and in Venezuela, the state is the largest producer of labor.

02:31The researcher has denounced the impact of the labor export program

02:36in the public health systems of Cuba and in the host countries,

02:40as well as its economic, political and geostrategic value

02:44for the Cuban dictatorship.

02:46The report highlights this.

02:48I dedicate this award to the victims and survivors,

02:52tens of thousands of Cubans who have had to deal

02:54with this abuse and exploitation,

02:56and especially with the cynicism of a regime

03:00that exploits them and tells the world

03:02that it is altruistic and humanitarian.
