Sexual violations at Huancavelica Military Base
In 1984, a woman avoided being raped at the Huancavelica Military Base by saying she had AIDS. This case is part of a systematic pattern of rape at military bases in Huancavelica since their installation.
In 1984, a female witness recounts how on several occasions she avoided being raped at the Huancavelica Military Base. The witness said that she had AIDS, thus avoiding rape. This testimony is part of a broader context of systematic rape at military bases in Huancavelica, particularly at the Manta and Vilca Bases, where cases of rape have occurred since the installation of the bases in 1984 and 1985, respectively. The actions of the military personnel at these bases merit special comment in the report, due to the seriousness and systematicity of the abuses.
