Although this problem has its structural origins, in recent decades it has had a dramatic upsurge in the last internal war that Peru suffered (1980-2000), especially in the central Andean theater, with its aftermath of hundreds of thousands of displaced people. people who are generally native or Quechua speakers, who in addition to having suffered for more than two decades in their own flesh the consequences of political violence between the State and seditious groups, drag and face in situations of extreme poverty and malnutrition The lack of basic water services drinking water, access to health services, decent sources of work or education, this is aggravated by cultural segregation, mainly in cities and their “Creole-Western” culture.
Many of them live in very difficult conditions in the belts that surround the cities and towns in the Mantaro Valley, which is a key and strategic area to understand and address first-hand the problems of the Andean and native peoples who have emigrated from other countries. provinces in search of improving or surviving their personal and social dramas caused by decades of political violence and lack of better opportunities and that still persist focused on areas near the jungle and mountainous regions of the regions of Junin, Ayacucho, Huancavelica and Andahuaylas, Vrae .
Many survivors experienced the terrible effects of this internal war as children. Today, today adults, many others will continue to have emotional and psychological consequences in addition to the segregation and sociocultural stigmatization of belonging to Quechua “ethnic groups” and speaking or expressing themselves in their own language and culture.
Likewise, a separate chapter deserves to mention the issue of gender, social, domestic and cultural violence suffered by many women, girls and adolescents, as well as the little or no access to economic improvement or training or organizational opportunities to improve, they and your families. We are admired and moved by the great courage, faith and strength, especially of these women to face their situation and the daily struggle they carry out to survive themselves and their families, from their rural villages to their humble homes in the surroundings of the cities. That is something that encourages us to promote this social cause that is very noble and powerful in its efforts to improve the quality of life of these people to whom you are your guest as an agent of change.
