In June, at least 300 women in Barbacoa went on strike...refusing to have ANY sex until the government agreed to pave a 163-year-old horse trail to the town...that took hours to travel...and was sometimes impassable.
Finally...Transport Minister German Cardona has pledged to invest an estimated $21mn to pave the first 27 kms/17 miles of the 57 km road...with studies underway to study costs for the 2nd half of the route.
"The day we saw the machinery arrive, we couldn't believe it," said one woman. "It was very special, not just for the movement, but for all Barbacoans. Imagine, it was decades of oblivion."
