#video#Peru Hundreds of thousands of Peruvian women were forcibly sterilised between 1996-2000 as part of President Alberto Fujimori’s family planning programme. The initiative was launched to reduce poverty and cut birth rates among the poor. While it was supposed to be consensual, women involved in the programme say otherwise. Most of the victims came from poor indigenous communities. Josefa was at home when nurses came and forced her to go to the hospital. She still recalls waking up after the procedure and seeing other women crying out their husbands’ names in pain. In the following years, Josefa suffered from infections and cancer. Decades later, Josefa and others are still seeking justice through a class action suit against the ex-president. Follow: https://t.me/rtdocumentary
