In the current Cuban context, where social inequalities, particularly those related to skin color, are steadily increasing, it is necessary to incorporate the proposed public policy modernization process into the process of reducing racial equity gaps. This article presents analyses and proposals based on national and regional approaches and experiences from Latin America and the Caribbean, providing key and innovative elements that can be applied to the design and implementation of a public policy to overcome racialized disadvantages in Cuba. This policy takes into account a comprehensive, universal approach sensitive to differences, based on rights, social equity, and development, which implies the implementation of universal policies, combined and complemented by affirmative action measures.
