Para 4) In the period from 2012 to July 2017, a number of major steps forward were taken, ... the fight against femicide, ... and efforts to combat gender-based violence.
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.
Para 98) Since August 2016, there has been a policy on strengthening the “Women’s circle of protection” by coordinating prevention, care services and support for the social, emotional and economic recovery of the victims, with a view to eradicating gender-based violence and its most extreme expression, femicide. Whereas in 2012 there were 175 women’s emergency centres, there are now 245 — at least one in all of the country’s provinces — that are run jointly with local governments, 5 of which are open 24 hours a day. Improvements have been made to the free telephone helpline, Line 100, which operates 24 hours a day, and shelters have been opened (there are currently 4, with plans to reach 12 by the end of 2017). Instruments for the specialized care of victims by women’s emergency centres have been adopted, as have rules on the care of people living with HIV and affected by violence, an intersectoral protocol for action in response to femicide, attempted femicide and high-risk partner violence, and other relevant instruments. The number of people served by women’s emergency centres increased from 42,537 in 2012 to 70,510 in 2016. In 2017, as of May, 33,692 people had been served.
