In this December 9, 2019 photo, a woman crosses a street as a young man on a bicycle stares at her in Havana, Cuba. For 60 years, Cuba's communist government has monopolized virtually every aspect of life on the island, but this year one aspect of that state monopoly has begun to loosen, and as 2019 comes to a close one of the most important of those new civil society causes is women's rights.
