As part of our Antivirus series, and with the support of APC, we held our first virtual party, with great success. We partied in the best way: with drinks, food and good music. Almost 150 people connected not only from Paraguay but from several countries such as Guatemala, Ecuador, Brazil, and Uruguay, among others, joined us to talk about digital rights and get this quarantine going.

@ Belén Giménez

Much has changed in recent months, and very abruptly. We spend much more time between our four walls than we would normally choose to spend. People who have children face suddenly the added task of finding out what to do with them all day long, caring for them and helping them to go through these times and what this transition entails.

In the context of the health emergency situation, Ministerial Resolution SG 90/2020 of March 10 established measures to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus, which included avoiding the gathering of students in educational spaces. Paraguay, like other countries in the region, decreed a temporary suspension of face-to-face courses, which has since been extended on several occasions. A possible extension until the end of the year is currently being discussed, as expressed by the Minister of Education, Eduardo Petta, in a television interview.

@ Tedic

We are facing an extreme situation, never experienced by our generation, and the answers are coming from social mobilization and, mainly, from each government. In the era of information technology, its use is undeniably a part of the responses to this pandemic. However, neither in Paraguay nor in the region do we have the regulatory maturity to regulate the technology industry, which makes it a risky ally. Even if it shows the best intentions, it is still a problem
