About Peru

In Peru there is a Silent Pain and are the alarming figures of rapes to girls and adolescents; According to official figures, every day there are many members of these population victims of sexual violence, an evil that results not only in psychological and physical traumas, but also in pregnancies and school backwardness.

This information is offered by the Ministry of Women, but the numbers could be worse, since there is an “underreporting” of the situation, and “not all cases of sexual violence are reported or reach the state system”, precisely because the aggressor is usually present in the family environment or the educational community.

The protection policies issued by the State through its Ministries do not contemplate the physical spaces of refuge for these victims, which are seriously exposed to other risks such as human trafficking and / or child labour exploitation.
