Gender-Sensitive Approaches to the Extractive Industry in Peru was commissioned under the World Bank's Gender and Extractive Industries program and presents a detailed look at the importance of ensuring positive development outcomes for women in the extractive industries. This book explores the roles and opportunities for all relevant stakeholders and illustrates how the mining sector can take a few simple steps to substantially improve its impact on the disadvantaged individuals within the mining communities. The book suggests approaches that governments, companies, civil society, and communities can take to improve the impacts of extractive industries projects on women, and through these approaches facilitate positive development outcomes on the wider family and community. The World Bank's Oil, Gas, and Mining Unit (SEGOM) is leading the work on gender and the extractive industries in terms of analytical work, research and dissemination, and operational support. The program supports the development of instruments and operational tools to address gender issues in extractive industries activities and raises awareness of these critical issues among World Bank Staff, client governments, civil society, and major oil, gas, and mining companies.

Closing the existing gender gaps will be required to boost shared prosperity and maximize poverty reduction efforts in Peru over the coming years. Gender inequities are not only unfair from an ethical and social perspective, but also economically inefficient. Greater gender equality can raise overall productivity, improve development outcomes, especially of the next generation, and lead to more representative decision making. This review of gender issues aims to uncover the main gender gaps in the country, and to identify potential policy recommendations that could help closing them in the coming years. Chapter 1 covers the legal and institutional framework and the issue of the agency of women; Chapter 2 provides an overview the situation with regards to the main endowments of health and education; and Chapter 3 deals with the existing gender gaps in economic opportunity.

In Peru, women are victims of intimate partner femicide due to machismo culture and gender inequality. The prevalence of such crimes does not seem to diminish in spite of social efforts and legislature reform. This systematic literature review examined areas in which the state is failing women and found that gender equality and gender violence legislature is either weakly written or unenforced, or a combination of both. In addition, the literature also discovered that lack of enforcement of law is due to prevalent machismo culture in the country. Future legislation needs to address this machismo culture to improve gender equality and provide tools to effectively enforce the law, in order to successfully reduce the prevalence of intimate partner femicide in Peru.

In 2001, following a generation of armed conflict and authoritarian rule, the Peruvian state created a Truth and Reconciliation Committee (TRC). Pascha Bueno-Hansen places the TRC, feminist and human rights movements, and related non-governmental organizations within an international and historical context to expose the difficulties in addressing gender-based violence. Her innovative theoretical and methodological framework based on decolonial feminism and a critical engagement with intersectionality facilitates an in-depth examination of the Peruvian transitional justice process based on field studies and archival research. Bueno-Hansen uncovers the colonial mappings and linear temporality underlying transitional justice efforts and illustrates why transitional justice mechanisms must reckon with the societal roots of atrocities, if they are to result in true and lasting social transformation. Original and bold, Feminist and Human Rights Struggles in Peru elucidates the tension between the promise of transitional justice and persistent inequality and impunity.
