Félix Cárdenas waits at the same bus stop every single night for his 22-year-old daughter to come home from work.

The 72-year-old father from Ñemby, Paraguay has maintained this routine since 2019.

When she posted a photo of her father on social media in February 2022, it received almost 25,000 likes.

A Father's Unwavering Commitment

Belén once suggested that her father didn't need to wait for her every night.

The commitment spans five years without interruption.

The Context Behind the Routine

Amnesty International describes "massive violence against women, children and adolescents" in Paraguay.

Every night at 8:30 pm, Félix Cárdenas takes his position at the bus stop, ensuring his daughter never walks the dark streets alone.
