A referendum was held on 25 September 2022 in Cuba to approve amendments to the Family Code of the Cuban Constitution.[1] The referendum passed, greatly strengthening gender equality, legalizing same-sex marriage, same-sex adoption, and altruistic surrogacy, and affirming a wide range of rights and protections for women, children, the elderly and people with disabilities.[2][3] Following the referendum, Cuba's family policies have been described as among the most progressive in Latin America.[4]
