Women get road paved after 'sex strike'

The women were encouraged to go on strike by two Narino judges, Maribel Silva and Diego Enriquez, after they complained about the men's passivity in the face of the problem.

"The men's first reaction was laughter, because they found the way we were protesting very curious," Judge Silva said.

Then reality set in, and work on the road finally began last week as the government had promised.

"The day we saw the machinery arrive, we couldn't believe it," said Castillo.

"It was very special, not just for the movement, but for all Barbacoans. Imagine, it was decades of oblivion."
