Rising from the Ashes

Rising from the Ashes (2009)

Peru’s civil war killed more than 70,000 people. The brutality of the armed conflict shocked Peruvians when the truth was revealed in 2003.

But in addition, hidden from view and primarily high in the Andes, the armed conflict left hundreds of victims of sexual violence, primarily indigenous women.

Rising from the Ashes is an inspiring story of these women taking on new roles in Peru and who are seeking a more just and peaceful society.
