Abstract

VASQUEZ DEL AGUILA, Ernesto. Invisible women: forced sterilization, reproductive rights, and structural inequalities in Peru of Fujimori and Toledo. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2006, vol.6, n.1, pp.109-124. ISSN 1808-4281.

The paper will analyze the discourses regarding sterilization and reproduction of political and Catholic religious leaders, national and international media and conservative and “progressive” individuals in two different political scenarios: the Fujimori government and the current Toledo democratic regimen. The data comes from different sources, such as official documents, reports from local and international human rights institutions, and the American and Peruvian media. The final goal and challenge is to deconstruct the concept of reproductive rights in the context of political violence, poverty, human rights violations, and economic, gender and ethnic inequalities in Peru.

Keywords : Sterilization; Reproduction; Human rights violations.
