The protests have now entered a second week.
Members of New Zealand's Colombian community are gathering this weekend to protest against ongoing unrest in their homeland.
As many as 37 people have died in the South American country after a proposed tax reform sparked nationwide protests and violence, with at least 89 more reported missing.
Hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic and with many people already facing poverty and extreme hardship, Colombians from all sectors of society have mobilised against the reforms, with everyone from activists, students, teachers and doctors taking part in both peaceful and non-peaceful demonstrations.
