A UN committee has urged Peru to compensate women who were forcibly sterilised in the 1990s, ruling that the state policy could constitute a “crime against humanity”.

Forced sterilisation was part of a programme implemented by Peru’s then president Alberto Fujimori during the final four years before he left office in 2000 after a decade in power.

The United Nations committee on the elimination of discrimination against women said hundreds of thousands of people had been affected. The 23-member committee issued its finding after reviewing a joint complaint filed by five victims who were forcibly sterilised between 1996 and 1997. “The victims claimed that the forced sterilisations they underwent had severe and permanent consequences for their physical and mental health,” it said in a statement.

The experts denounced Peru’s failure to properly investigate the violations and compensate the victims, urging the country to put in place a “comprehensive reparation programme for victims”.

I can understand having trauma related to the topic, but this is not a productive way to communicate with people. You don’t know anything about me.

What are you even talking about? Was this meant to be some kind of clever retort suggesting that I'd been forcibly sterilized, and that's why I'm commenting on it?

Such a self-report, and you don't even realize it. You cannot even comprehend someone giving a shit in the way that I did, unless the thing specifically happened to me.

Great way to tell everyone that you don't understand empathy without actually saying it.

Woah. Actually what I was saying is that you clearly have some trauma related to how forced sterilization has been implemented in the past as evident by the level of aggression in your posts towards a complete stranger with very little context. Totally understandable and not invalidating your feelings.

It seems you have some misdirected anger and you are making a lot of assumptions to make me your punching bag. Happy to be an outlet for your trauma. I hope you can find a path towards healing and I hope to have a more peaceful discussion on the topic in the future. Take care.
