THE PERU SUPPORT GROUP

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.
