This chapter elaborates on how social and child protection in Cuba has developed during the last few years. It addresses some aspects of legal frameworks that protect children and adolescents in the country, amid the most recent legal revisions undertaken by the government. It also presents available data about child maltreatment of which the main manifestations in Cuba are negligence, violence and maltreatment and sexual abuse. In this regard, it analyses the protection networks. A notable aspect is the coordination of work and alliances between different agents and institutions in responding to child maltreatment. Finally, there is a reflection on how within the Cuban protection system some practical issues are addressed.
