Welcome to the Voice of America’s News Words.

Some people in Cuba recently marched to show their support for animal protection.

Authorization

In April, hundreds of Cubans and their pets marched peacefully through Havana, calling for an end to animal cruelty.

Organizers called it the first independent march to have authorization in the one-party state.

Some see it as a sign of change in allowing Cubans to express their views.

People who have authorization are officially permitted or approved to do something.

In technology, authorization is a process used to decide access to computer programs and data.
