Urban indigenous communities such as Tarumandymi in Luque show progress in access to basic services, but still face a lack of state support for economic development and combating discrimination.
About 50 Indigenous people from the Guakikua community have been camping for over three months along Route PY02 in Coronel Oviedo, without assistance from INDI or the Caaguazú Governor's Office, suffering from cold, rain, and lack of shelter.
The Ministry of Children and Adolescents (MINNA) coordinated an action that removed 42 indigenous children and adolescents from the streets of Ciudad del Este, amid cold and danger. Three adolescents were unaccompanied, and an indigenous woman with seven children was taken to a shelter. The group will be reintegrated into their communities of origin in Guairá, Caazapá, and Alto Paraná.
