The PSG is run on a day-to-day basis by the co-ordinator Gaby Drinkwater.

The management committee is elected annually from among nominated PSG members at the annual general meeting, usually held the same day as our annual conference.

Lord Avebury, long standing advocate for human rights, founder of the Parliamentary Human Rights Group, member of the Liberal Democrat Foreign Affairs team, was elected as President of the Peru Support Group in 2002.

Volunteer

The PSG is always interested in hearing from potential volunteers with native English and a high level of Spanish.

Currently, we are looking for volunteers to either come to the office or to work from home and who could dedicate at least one day a week to work on:

  • Web-based research (e.g. EU-CAN Peru/Colombia trade agreement)
  • Research and write an information pack on Peru (e.g. political system, economy, human rights, climate change, etc...)
  • Fundraising/administrative support

Please email the Peru Support Group with a short covering letter and your CV.

  • Human Rights

    human rights

    Following nearly 15 years of internal war, violations of human rights continue. But in recent years, there have been a number of advances in the area of human rights. However, many innocent people remain in prison and the use of torture is common.

  • Women

    As well as over half the population living in poverty, chronic malnutrition is widespread. Inadequate and unequally distributed health services mean that the most vulnerable sectors of the society, women and children are worst affected.
