- Women's participation
Type:RecommendationSession:14th session, November 2012Status:AcceptedContents:Implement specific and concrete measures in order to increase participation of women in the political and corporate life of the country.ImplementationNational Report:
Para 91) Regulations have been issued to promote gender equality, including Act No. 29824, the Magistrates Act, which emphasizes the judiciary’s obligation to promote the participation of women in the election and appointment of judges.
Para 95) Although none of the regional governments have provided information on specific plans or programmes that help promote the participation of women in politics or their inclusion in the business world, they have provided information on specific actions to advance women’s political participation, such as issuing ordinances stating that promoting women’s right to political and civic participation, and ensuring its realization, is a priority that is in the public interest.
Para 96) While parity has not been achieved, the participation of women in the public sphere has increased significantly. Thus, in 2016, women accounted for 33 per cent of judicial appointees; 23.4 per cent of commissioned National Police officers and 17 per cent of noncommissioned officers; and 27.7 per cent of elected members of Congress, a figure higher than the 22.3 per cent attained at the general elections of 2011. On the other hand, only 1 woman was elected a regional governor, only 3 were elected mayor of a province and only 3 mayor of a district, out of a total of 1,851 provincial and district municipalities.
UN Compilation:
Para 38) ... The Working Group on the issue of discrimination against women in law
and in practice noted a shortage of women at the highest levels of the judicial system.
Para 45) The HR Committee was concerned that women were underrepresented in decision-making positions in the public sector. CEDAW was concerned that parliamentary representation of women had decreased, that existing electoral gender quotas in regional and municipal elections were often not met, and that women politicians experienced harassment by peers or the authorities.
Para 47) The Working Group on the issue of discrimination against women in law and in practice noted that Peru had made significant efforts in terms of the political participation of women, which had increased as a result of legislation introducing gender quotas. However, the quotas had not managed to remedy a situation in which women lagged behind.
Stakeholder Summary:
Para 52) CNDDHH said that women had still not exceeded the 30 per cent threshold for elected office and held less than 5 per cent of elected posts in local and regional governments ... JS10 reported extensively on the way that the political harassment of women acted as a barrier to their political participation.
Para 97) The Peruvian Black Women’s Development Centre (CEDEMUNEP) observed that the law on quotas did not benefit Afro-Peruvians, who — with some exceptions — were not included in parliamentary lists. -

- Women's and / or girls' rights

Type:RecommendationSession:14th session, November 2012Status:AcceptedContents:Continue to drive forward the Programme on Access of the Population to Identity, with a focus on women and children, in particular in the jungle area, through measures such as free National Identity Document (DNI) for the vulnerable population, and continue enabling them to travel to obtain DNIs.ImplementationNational 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. -

- Abortion
Type:RecommendationSession:14th session, November 2012Status:Unclear ResponseContents:Review its restrictive interpretation of therapeutic abortion and decriminalisation of abortion in cases of rape, as recommended by CEDAW.ExplanationRegarding abortion, under the Peruvian Criminal Code abortion in general, with the exception of therapeutic abortion, is a punishable act, as was explained by the national delegation during the oral part of the universal periodic review.
The practice of therapeutic abortion is generally carried out by a doctor, with the consent of the pregnant woman, when it is the only way to save the latter's life, or to avoid serious and permanent harm to her health.ImplementationNational Report:
Para 80) In Peru, both the Civil Code and health regulations allow therapeutic abortion only to save the life of the mother. It is a criminal offence under the Criminal Code of 1991 in all other cases. The national technical handbook on the standardization of comprehensive care procedures for women who, with their informed consent, are undergoing a voluntary therapeutic termination of pregnancy before the twenty-second week of pregnancy was adopted against that backdrop in 2014.
UN Compilation:
Para 69) [The Working Group on the issue of discrimination against women in law and in practice] and CEDAW expressed concern at the restrictive abortion laws, ... .
Stakeholder Summary:
Para 67) AI stated that abortion remained criminalized, except in cases where the health or life of the pregnant woman and girl was at risk. It added that despite the adoption of the guidelines on therapeutic abortion in 2014, clandestine and unsafe abortions were predominant. JS11 recalled that a discussion on the decriminalization of abortion in cases of rape was pending in the Congress. -

ExplanationNoted. En respeto a la independencia y autonomía de las Entidades, sobre “dejar de apelar sentencias judiciales”, se resalta que la interposición de un medio impugnatorio obedece estrictamente al ejercicio de un derecho que le asiste a los órganos del Sistema de Defensa Jurídica encargados de representar a las entidades, al formar parte de un proceso judicial (en virtud al emplazamiento realizado por la autoridad judicial), ante la existencia de un fallo que involucra las funciones de la institución, con el objeto que el superior jerárquico efectúe el control eficaz de la resolución judicial expedida en primera instancia. Es a esta consideración y no a otra, a la que se ciñe la actuación recursal de las Procuradurías Públicas, las misma que cuenta con una actuación de naturaleza autónoma y estrictamente jurídica.
