In Camaguey, notwithstanding, women represent from 64 to 75 percent of the labour force in sectors such as public health, education, juridical and the bank, whereas professionals abound among them; likewise their presence in the army (Revolutionary Armed Forces FAR and the Interior Minister MININT) is major.
