The UN committee urged Peru to implement a comprehensive reparation program, emphasizing the state's failure to investigate severe violations resulting from forced sterilizations under dictator Alberto Fujimori's regime.
The systematic forced sterilizations of rural and Indigenous women, conducted without their consent, were characterized by coercion and manipulation, highlighting a targeted attack on marginalized populations.
One victim's harrowing experience illustrates the deceptive tactics used, being put to sleep and waking to the news that she would not bear children, underscoring the trauma inflicted.
The United Nations identified these forced sterilizations as potentially constituting crimes against humanity, calling for accountability and reparations for the impacted women and their families.
