ESTADO AUSENTE
The story of Natalia
Natalia (26) left her partner because she was a victim of violence. For this reason she moved to her mother's house, a shack where she lives with her four sons and her brothers. The shack has no running water and for long periods of the day not even has electricity. To survive, she needs the help of her mother, eats at soup-kitchens for poor people and works as cartonera. She lives in Villa Fiorito, one of the many Villa Miserias on the outskirts of Buenos Aires built on the banks of the Riachuelo river, one of the most contaminated in the world. Most of the roads are not paved, the streets are not lit at night, and some areas are used as open-air dumps. The pollution, the lack of running water, the malfunction of the electrical service, delinquency, drug trafficking and drug use are some of the wounds of this place. Much of the population lives in extreme poverty, is discriminated against because of his origin and has no access to employment. Nevertheless, the residents of Villa Fiorito try to organize themselves supporting each other, not getting any kind of state aid.
