Together We Fight: Surviving Peru's Campaign of Coercive Sterilizations

By Ñusta Carranza Ko

Disguised as a family planning program during Peru's internal armed conflict, a campaign was launched by the government of Alberto Fujimori that resulted in the forced sterilization of thousands of women of poor, rural, and Indigenous-language-speaking backgrounds. Together We Fight explores Indigenous and non-Indigenous women's brutal experiences of forced sterilizations and their subsequent activism for reproductive rights and justice. Drawing on a vast trove of first-person testimony, usta Carranza Ko highlights the understudied voices of victim-survivors, unpacking their ideas of justice and examining the work of allies that have accompanied them in their activism. Focusing on the stories, struggles, and lived experiences of victim-survivors, Carranza Ko argues that the campaign was genocidal.
