    Explanation
    Noted. El Perú toma nota de la recomendación 111.102 de “despenalizar el aborto en todas las circunstancias y garantizar que las mujeres y las niñas puedan acceder al aborto seguro y legal”, en la medida que el término “en todas las circunstancias” resulta confuso por ser, en sentido estricto, incompatible con los estándares internacionales sobre la materia.

    Accepted
    Contents:
    Speed up the birth registration process of women who are not in possession of birth certificates and identity documents, in particular in the rural and remote areas of the country.
    Implementation
    National Report:
    Para 54) In 2016, 99.2 per cent of Peruvians had a national identity card, a figure that represented a considerable improvement on the 97.3 per cent in 2012. Although the increase has been sustained in all areas of the country, the figure in rural areas (98.4 per cent) has not yet reached the national average. To close this gap and provide documentation services free of charge to the country’s most remote settlements, especially in the Amazon Basin, a number of mobile service strategies have been pursued in coordination with other sectors. In 2015, furthermore, a strategy for technical assistance with registration was implemented. It is aimed at strengthening 200 civil register offices in native communities and populated places, where a large percentage of birth records was found to contain errors and omissions. Such a situation is detrimental to children. The strategy has been implemented with a focus on indigenous communities and populated places in poverty or extreme poverty.

    UN Compilation:
    Para 54) Three Committees were concerned that a significant number of indigenous children, women and girls continued to face difficulty in gaining access to the birth register and obtaining identity documents, particularly in the indigenous communities of the Amazonian and Andean regions.

    Stakeholder Summary:
    Para 57) JS19 ... recognized that the Government had launched a bilingual birth certificate register in some indigenous languages but noted that bilingual identity cards had not yet been introduced.

    Contents:
    Guarantee the full recognition of sexual and reproductive rights.
    Explanation
    In recent years, Peru has made significant progress towards ensuring the enjoyment of sexual and reproductive rights. In this regard, it should be noted that the Ministry of Health, in the National Health Strategy on Sexual and Reproductive Health, has updated policy documents (Family Planning Technical Standard and Guidance/Counselling Manual on Sexual and Reproductive Health) to standardize processes and include the widest range of current contraceptives such as the female condom, implant and monthly injectable contraceptive. Furthermore, to ensure that this initiative is sustainable, these methods have been included in the programme cost structure for 2013.

    With regard to the promotion of sexual and reproductive health education for adolescents, it is important to note that the National Curriculum Design for Regular Basic Education (DCN) has established "the promotion of adolescent sexual and reproductive health" as a core subject in the school curriculum. Similarly, the curriculum includes the subject in the "Individual, Family and Human Relations", which is taught in each of the five grades at secondary education level.

    Peru is making every effort to respect, guarantee and promote the sexual and reproductive rights of all. We therefore consider that steps taken by the Government are in line with these recommendations.
