She said, "The government has not taken action to prevent such incidents from happening. The government has not prioritized the issue of disappearances."
In 2022, over 5380 women went missing in Peru, most of whom were young women and girls. The local police and prosecutors did not fully investigate many cases because they believed that these women had voluntarily fled.
