    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 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.

    Type:
    Comment
    Session:
    28th Session November 2017
    Status:
    N/A
    Contents:
    The Centre for Reproductive Rights Inc. noted that in Peru a pregnancy could only be legally interrupted in order to save the life of the woman or to avoid serious and permanent damage to her health, also known as “therapeutic abortion” and therefore, it regretted that Peru only took note of the recommendation made under its review to decriminalize abortion in all instances. The Centre for Reproductive Rights Inc. stated that a pending lawsuit before the Constitutional Court could potentially ban therapeutic abortion, preventing all women and girls seeking abortions under the current law to do so and it worried that these developments were happening in a wider context of backlash against women’s sexual and reproductive rights in Peru.
    Explanation
    Peru reiterated its commitment to continue working in order to advance in this subject. Peru stated that the country had accepted about six recommendations regarding sexual and reproductive rights.
