A community’s fight against child labour.
The town of Coronel Oviedo is on the highway that connects Paraguay neighbouring Brazil, about 137 km from the capital city of Asunción. Although there are still some red dirt roads criss-crossing the town the new highway brings heavy traffic to the area and has turned the once sleepy town into a commercial hub. The population is booming as Paraguayans from rural areas come here in search of work.
