Installation of Vilca Military Base
Installation of the Vilca Military Base in Huancavelica in 1985, since the installation of which there have been systematic sexual violations by military personnel against the civilian population, including elderly women.
The Vilca Military Base was installed in 1985 in the district of Vilca, province of Huancavelica. Since its installation, the military personnel of this base committed systematic sexual violations against the civilian population, including elderly women. Cases of rape occurred from the installation of the base and continued during its operation. As a result of these rapes, numerous children were born who in many cases did not bear the father's real surname, as the raped women chose to register them with the nicknames by which the soldiers were known or with the father's military rank.
