In November 1991, the March 'Against Hunger and Terror' took place, led by the leaders María Elena Moyano and Emma Hilario, among others. This march took place in a context of intensified threats and attacks by the PCP-Sendero Luminoso against the leaders of women's grassroots organizations. The march was an organized response by popular women leaders to the terrorist offensive that had begun in mid-1991, including assassinations such as that of Juana López in Callao in August and Doraliza Espejo in San Juan de Lurigancho in September. This mobilization represented an act of resistance and public denunciation against the violence of the PCP-SL and the conditions of poverty affecting the popular sectors.
