'Women say no sex until their demands are met'

"Women in the small town of Barbacaos* in southwest Colombia have been sleeping on the sofa for the past few days."

They say they've stopped having sex with their significant others in protest of what they say is the terrible condition of the road that connects their small, isolated town to the rest of Colombia, says reporter John Otis in Colombia."

[T]he women say the conditions of that road is so bad that it takes them 12 to 14 hours to get to the nearest hospital. Otis says even pregnant women have died in the back of ambulances, trying to get to a hospital to give birth."

That's why they've gone on a sex strike, dubbed the "crossed legs movement."

This time it seems that members of the "crossed legs movement" are actually getting results."

Otis says he's seen pictures of bulldozers and heavy machinery on the road, starting repairs."
