Installation of military base in Huarcatán

During the installation of the military base in Huarcatán around 1990, the villagers were abused by the military. The military entered the homes of the villagers and sexually abused young girls from the community. These events were part of a broader pattern of sexual violence perpetrated by the forces of law and order against the civilian population during the internal armed conflict. The installation of military bases in various parts of the country was frequently accompanied by systematic human rights violations, including sexual violence against women and girls.
