Abstract

Based on extensive field work in Ayacucho, the area most affected by the past armed conflict in Peru (1980–2000), this practice note outlines some of the contributions to justice and reconciliation made by Quechua women in post-conflict Ayacucho and hypothesizes a number of reasons why these contributions have not been recognized to the same extent as their suffering.
