    National Report:
    Para 39) Moreover, Legislative Decree No. 1323 bolsters efforts to combat femicide, domestic violence and gender-based violence by redefining the criminal offence of sexual exploitation and establishing aggravated penalties (from 20 to 25 years), significantly harsher than those for other criminal offences, when the victim is a child or adolescent. It also establishes a custodial sentence of not less than 25 years and not more than 30 years in the event of the victim’s death.
    Para 97) The National Programme to Combat Domestic and Sexual Violence is responsible for prevention policies and policies for the care and support of persons involved in gender-based violence, particularly domestic and sexual violence, directed against women and members of the family. In this context, between 2015 and 2016 a new legislative framework was adopted. It included Act No. 30364, the Act on the Prevention, Punishment and Eradication of Violence against Women and Household Members, and its implementing regulations; the protocol for inter-institutional action to address femicide, attempted femicide and high-risk partner violence; the National Plan to Combat GenderBased Violence 2016-2021; and the intersectoral protocol for the prevention and prosecution of trafficking in persons. The Peruvian National Police, for their part, adopted a handbook on procedures for police operations in the framework of Act No. 30364.

    UN Compilation:
    Para 84) Two Committees were concerned at reports of widespread violence against women and girls, including domestic and sexual violence and femicide. In 2014, the Working Group on the issue of discrimination against women in law and in practice noted that violence against women was a widespread problem in all spheres, including the home, school, work and public spaces, and that prosecutions of crimes were still not receiving the priority they deserved. ... The country team recognized that progress had been made, but pointed out that gender-based violence continued to be a critical issue; ... .

    Stakeholder Summary:
    Para 76) CLCGS welcomed adopted legislation regarding the criminalization of violence against women, including femicide, sexual harassment, and promoting equal opportunities between women and men and several national plans; however, despite these laws 70.8 per cent of women had suffered some type of violence by their partner. ...
    Para 101) The Center for Justice and International Law (CEJIL) welcomed the adoption of Supreme Decree N 001-2017-IN that provided temporary residence for ... victims of acts of violence against women.

For this a further effort will be made to implement the National Strategic Plan for the Reduction of Maternal Mortality 2009-2015, through funded activities aiming primarily at providing guidance and advice in sexual and reproductive health.
