STORYLINE:
Hundreds of women marched through the streets of Lima on Saturday, a few days before the ‘International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women’, which is celebrated on November 25.
A group of demonstrators marched carrying a cardboard coffin with the name of Sheyla Condor, one of the most resounding cases of alleged femicide reported in the country.
Peruvian NGO Manuela Ramos, which defends women’s rights and monitors gender violence cases, told the Associated Press that the rate of violence in the country was ‘very high’.
"Until July of this year, more than 5000 reports of missing women have been filed; women of all ages, from girls, adolescents, women, and older adults. Only half of the disappeared have been found." said Shely Cabrera, a lawyer working with Manuela Ramos NGO.
UN says women’s rights activists have observed 25 November as a day against gender-based violence since 1981.
This date was selected to honor the Mirabal sisters, three political activists from the Dominican Republic who were brutally murdered in 1960 by order of the country’s ruler, Rafael Trujillo (1930-1961).
