Women face violence in many forms, from femicide to domestic abuse. Women often have few options to escape the domestic violence they face, and if they do report it they can be left on the streets with no where to go. A major problem Peru is facing is the increase in femicide and deaths from domestic violence, along with women being victims of human trafficking. Peru believes that these are three of the most pressing issues that need to be addressed internationally. Peru already has laws in place to prevent domestic violence, femicide, and human trafficking. Peru believes that no women should have to face violence on a daily basis or be subjected to human trafficking. Peru advocates for better policies and less westernized laws, which are not as effective in other countries like Peru. These policies include things like better passport screening to prevent women being trafficked across country lines, outreach programs and shelters for women who are domestically abused, and laws that persecuted those guilty of stalking.
