"WE STAND IN SOLIDARITY WITH OUR SISTERS IN PERU,
SURVIVORS OF STERILIZATIONS"
SURVIVORS OF STERILIZATIONS"

"The importance of being organized as victims of forced sterilizations and the solidarity and support of human rights institutions as allies gives us strength and makes us see that we are not alone. Instead, we have the capacity to demand and achieve the implementation of policies that enable us to access justice and comprehensive reparations." Victoria Saccsara, Sacred Bundles Unborn
Victoria Saccsara is the President of the “Sumaq Wayta” Association of Women Victims of Forced Sterilization of Ayacucho, in the rural (Indigenous) community of Maucallaqta, District of Socos, Province of Huamanga, Department of Ayacucho. Victoria is a survivor of forced sterilization, a practice carried out through a deliberate policy implemented by Peru’s Fujimori government in the 1990s. Under the pretext of eradicating poverty, up to 300,000 women – the majority rural Indigenous women – were subjected to involuntary tubal ligation.
