Women
that are helped in our shelters say that they
had to stand that violence not only for one year
but also for many, because they were afraid of
being alone and not being able to support their
children.
Some of the reasons are that they don’t
know about their rights, the lack of study opportunities
they have. The women murders are extreme consequences
of women violence. |

Many
of women had already sued aggressors but authorities
did something neither to help them nor to fallow
the rule 26260 and its variations in order to
save the victim’s home and get the aggressor
out of the house. If this is not done a murder
can occur. WE
CAN BREAK THE CHAIN OF VIOLENCE AND DEATH AGAINST
WOMEN AND CHILDREN BY PRODUCING
November 25th is the International day of no
violence against women. It’s a day of
reaffirmation to fight for children and women
human rights in Peru. We, professional and popular
women, get organized to build a human society
free of violence, to get it away from death
and the cruelest women, children, boys and girls
torture.

We
see the horrible crimes that are committed in
Peru against women that are victims of family
and sexual violence who stand the aggressor for
years, girls that are stocked and sexually abused.
Many women and girls get pregnant because of rapes.
Some others are murdered, ripped, burnt or inducted
to suicide. The aggressor is mostly living in
the house of someone close to the family.
The adult Woman is marginalized and hut by society.
She doesn’t have any access to a worthy
life after giving her years to the services of
the society. The Indian and native women of the
jungles doesn’t have any access to education
and opportunities for her own businesses. They
are manipulated in their communities by companies
and consorts that don’t care about preserving
the environment and the natural resources. Women
with different abilities also need and opportunity
to develop their creativity. They daily fight
against violence. We can see how the fundamentalism
is growing in the world. It considers women as
the property of the patriarchs, so they are the
ones that decide for the life and sexuality of
women. If they don’t do what men say they
get marginalized, harassed, caught and then condemned
to death.
History teaches us that the patriarchs don’t
like our labor and actions. Peru is not the exception.
When we got started, 24 years ago, with the creation
of the first shelter “the woman’s
voice” patriarchs said that we were breaking
the familiar cell, the good customs. But, that
way we could make people realize that sexual and
family violence was not a private problem. It
was a social problem. To be heard we started working
hard with our organizations, encouraging the values
and participation without discrimination or racism,
rescuing the values of the ethics, millenarian
culture of the “ama makansiksu”, the
ama llulla, the ama quella, the ama sua in which
tenderness prioritizes, to be always interlaced
like “the mother earth” of the nature,
defending the ecology and the environment.
Women succeeded. The law 26260 and its extensión
26763 were set. These laws are important in order
to punish the aggressors, but we have to make
it considered as a crime so that way the aggressor
will be gotten away from the house. We have 17
shelters and we are working all together like
the fortress of sacsahuaman (Cuzco) and any stockers,
criminals, blackmailers, and rapists of the human
rights can make fun of us.
We decide that we can break chains of violence
by producing because women are the creator of
organizations for life and their own businesses.
Women are also great to be economically independent
and be able to support their own family. When
women get independent definitely break the circle
of violence that might have been standing for
years.
We generate spiritual and material wealth to
consolidate our society with gender equality
by producing.
