The Response of Women from Ayacucho to the Problems of Political Violence
This thesis is a qualitative study that aims to address the response mechanisms developed by women in the Ayacucho region in response to the various problems generated by political violence, which affected not only the family and the community, but also the economic, social, political, and cultural development of women. The idea of developing research around this issue arose when the author accompanied the organizational work of women's groups in the region and of displaced persons' organizations, which made it possible to observe the strength and capacity of women — particularly those of rural origin — to confront the adversities of war and economic crisis, despite the limitations resulting from historical marginalization and discrimination.
