In Peru, families are seeking justice for two separate incidents of violence involving young women. In Cuyocuyo, a mother is calling for investigations into a suspected sexual assault of her 15-year-old daughter, who is hospitalized in Juliaca. The mother has raised concerns regarding the medical-legal evaluation and alleged attempts by the suspect's family to obstruct the complaint with monetary offers.

In a separate case in Juliaca, relatives of 19-year-old Mayumi Peralta Apaza are demanding answers following her death. Her body was found on October 8 with injuries allegedly caused by a sharp weapon, and her family reported that several belongings were missing. They have expressed frustration over the lack of progress in police and fiscal investigations.
