    Study Notes

    Forced Sterilization in Peru

    • Forced sterilization was a state policy in Peru targeting rural, Indigenous, illiterate, impoverished women of reproductive age.
    • Over 200,000 women were sterilized without their free, prior, and informed consent.
    • The policy led to significant physical, psychological, and social consequences for the victims.

    Concept of Precarity

    • Precarity refers to the conditions of vulnerability and marginalization that made certain populations susceptible to human rights violations.
    • It is defined by instability, lack of social and economic support, and differential exposure to harm.

    Reproductive Justice

    • Reproductive justice is a framework that analyzes the intersectionality of race, class, and gender in the context of reproductive rights.
    • It links the right to reproductive autonomy to broader issues of social justice, emphasizing the impact of systemic inequalities on reproductive choices.

    Feminine Capital

    • Feminine capital refers to the cultural assets women acquire and display, which are valued within their societies.
    • Sterilization affected women's social value and identity, particularly in terms of their roles as mothers and wives, leading to a loss of feminine capital.

    • The forced sterilization campaign in Peru is an example of both cultural and structural violence.

    Intersectionality

    • Intersectionality is the analysis of how various forms of social stratification (such as race, gender, and class) interact to create unique modes of discrimination and privilege.
    • The concept is used to explore the complex identities of the women subjected to sterilization and the multifaceted nature of their oppression.

    Neo-Malthusian Agenda

    • The Neo-Malthusian agenda is a critique of the underlying assumptions of the sterilization campaign, which linked population control to economic progress and modernization.
    • This agenda reflects a continuation of colonial and patriarchal ideologies.
