Bolivia
Twice a week the use of motor vehicles is suspended in the streets "Rodriguez" and "Avenida Buenos
Aires". There are wooden, cardboard and plastics stands that sell vegetables and fruits along these
sidewalks.
The same as it is happening in streets or squares
of thousands of cities in the world, in La Paz there
is a market twice a week. Two wide streets are
stopped to traffic where goods are exposed on the
floor. Vegetables, fruits and cereals are sold along
the sidewalk next to buildings.
The dozens of stalls are regulated by women, a
fact to highlight due to the importance given to
women in the work of agriculture.
Agriculture in Bolivia is like a family business and
the woman is the one who owns and works the
land, for subsequent sale. This job has avoided
thousands of families being poor.
