Voices of one feeling.

The districts of the northern cone of Huancavelica, belonging to the micro-basin of the Río Vilca, were severely affected by the internal armed conflict that Peru experienced in the 1980s and 1990s. The material and social damage, still not fully restored or repaired despite the time that has elapsed, are after-effects that the population continues to bear to this day. Women were, in this area, those whose rights were most violated; in them the after-effects persist and invade their personal spaces, their family environment, and their community. These are widows, mothers who lost their children, displaced women who endured uprooting and have now returned to their communities of origin, women who were victims of sexual assault, some of whom became single mothers. In general, women who lived amid an atmosphere of total insecurity and violence.
