Peru: 48,609 sexual assault victims reported 2019-2023, only 23.4% got emergency care

Peruvian state data reveals that between 2019 and 2023, 48,609 sexual assault victims were reported, yet only 23.4% received the emergency care kit, indicating a systemic failure in victim support. The gap between reported cases and access to critical care underscores chronic under-resourcing and potential underreporting. This matters as it highlights a public health and human rights deficiency in Peru's response to sexual violence.
