The article presents a theoretical and methodological analysis of studies on gender-based violence against women in Cuba, problems presented by current Cuban feminism and the connections between both issues and the phenomenon of representation, taking as a reference for debate and criticism investigations that have been made for over ten years on the subject in the municipality of Moa. The analysis is carried out based on the decolonial feminism, in its special interrelationship with the Epistemologies of the South, to offer other possible alternatives of transformation for Cuban feminist science and activism, studies on gender-based violence against women in particular and feminist political practice feminist in general in today’s Cuba.

Keywords : violence against woman; feminism; representation; decolonial feminism; epistemologies of the South.
