    Policy Efforts on Gender-Based Violence during COVID-19

    How government policies on gender-based violence (GBV) are implemented in terms of services for victims varies considerably across countries. We examine policy infrastructures, including helplines, support centres, and shelters since the pandemic’s onset. Our project identifies progress and challenges around the provision of services for GBV survivors.

    ¿Quién está detrás de las protestas en Perú?

    Las violentas protestas que exigen la dimisión de la Presidenta Dina Boluarte han causado ya más de 50 muertos en Perú. Algunos acusan incluso al ex presidente boliviano Evo Morales de instigar las protestas, mientras que otros apuntan a un profundo descontento, especialmente en el sur del país.

    La violencia policial en Perú evidencia "desprecio y racismo"

    Mientras el Gobierno de Dina Boluarte niegue los graves abusos de las fuerzas de seguridad contra los manifestantes, las calles no se pacificarán. La impunidad solo alimentará la violencia, advierten expertos a DW.
