📢 INFORMAMOS A LA COMUNIDAD LATINOAMERICANA EN University of Sussex - International SOBRE LOS ACONTECIMIENTOS EN PERÚ

🚨🚨Pronunciamiento de estudiantes peruanos y egresados de diversas Universidades en el extranjero 🚨🚨

Los estudiantes y egresados peruanos de diversas universidades alrededor del mundo, incluida la Universidad de Sussex, realizamos el siguiente pronunciamiento en el marco de la crisis política, económica y sanitaria que enfrenta la República del Perú en estos momentos:

El 9 de noviembre del presente año, el Congreso de la República del Perú, presidido por Manuel Merino de Lama, y con los votos a favor de los congresistas de las bancadas de los partidos políticos Acción Popular, Alianza para el Progreso, Somos Perú, Podemos Perú, Frepap, Fuerza Popular, Unión por el Perú, Frente Amplio, aprobaron la vacancia presidencial del Sr. Martín Vizcarra Cornejo, atentando contra el principio democrático de la República contemplado en el artículo 45° de la Constitución Política del Perú.

Dicha acción ha sumergido al Perú en una gran inestabilidad política y social. Perú es uno de los países más azotados por los efectos de la pandemia de la COVID 19 y a la fecha atraviesa por una de las crisis económicas más duras en las últimas décadas.

Como estudiantes y egresados de diversas áreas que engloban las políticas educativas, economía, relaciones internacionales y desarrollo internacional, estamos en contra de los hechos sucedidos. Rechazamos las acciones del Congreso de la República del Perú, y como parte de la sociedad civil, expresamos nuestra preocupación por los eventos que esta acción antidemocrática puede acarrear.

Asimismo, como ciudadanas y ciudadanos peruanos que tenemos o que hemos tenido la oportunidad de estudiar en distintas universidades reconocidas en el extranjero por su calidad educativa, nos preocupa de sobremanera un posible retroceso en la reforma universitaria, a manos de congresistas que sabemos tienen intereses particulares. Uno de los principales pilares del desarrollo de una nación es garantizar una educación de calidad en todos los niveles, por lo que un retroceso en este aspecto sería terrible para el futuro de nuestro país. Respaldamos a la SUNEDU, su trabajo no debe cesar. Seremos vigilantes de que su autonomía no se vea afectada.

Para darle estabilidad al país, exigimos la separación del cargo de Presidente de la República del Perú del Sr. Manuel Merino Lama. Consideramos que no es la persona adecuada para llevar a cabo un Gobierno de Transición hasta los próximos comicios del 11 de abril del 2021. Nuestro país necesita que quien lleve a cabo el Gobierno de Transición sea un congresista que goce de legitimidad frente a la ciudadanía, y que pueda mantener la operatividad de la administración pública hasta la entrega de la dirección del país a quién resulte elegido en las próximas elecciones generales.

Atte.
Los y las estudiantes peruanos en Sussex.

We invite all genders from all nationalities to participate on our WORKSHOPS!

WORKSHOP ON SORORITY
In this workshop, we’ll learn to hold each other as women. We’ll learn what Latin American feminism means and some examples of it. We’ll learn about the concepts of Feminicide and Sorority, as two main aspects of Latin American feminism. And we’ll also learn about online Latin American campaigns against VAWG (Violence Against Women and Girls).

WORKSHOP ON MASCULINITIES
In the context of International Women's Day, self-identified men will reflect on 'Masculinities', its violence(s), and the possibilities for creating society centered on care. The workshop will serve as an introduction to the topic and we will define in a participative way some of the most pressing issues framed under the 'masculinities' perspective. Some of the key concepts, such as 'hegemonic masculinity' and others will be presented. Later on, we will discuss the violence embedded in the construction of 'masculinity'. Finally, we will discuss what are the most pressing agendas from a 'masculinities' perspectives and what could we start doing about them. The workshop is designed in the context of current Latin American 'masculinities' and all backgrounds and nationalities of self-identified men are welcome.

📢 Hello Latin America community and friends!

We would like to extend the invitation to the event titled 'Unpredictable Shifts in Maternal Mortality Prevention Policy Agendas, 1990 – 2010: Governance and Civil Society’s Participation in Peru'.

Ruth Iguiñiz-Romero, from the School of Public Health and Administration University Cayetano Heredia (Peru), will be talking about maternal mortality prevention policy in Peru.

Please, join the conversation on:
🗓Wednesday 22nd January 2020
🕐1-2:30PM
📍IDS Room 221

*Event description*

Maternal mortality prevention policy in Peru has shifted the focus of its interventions several times between 1990 and 2010. This seminar analyses these shifts and demonstrates that the policy was the result of particular interactions between the state, civil society actors and international actors in different political contexts over the two decades covered by the study. The study of these policy shifts is critical to identify the different state, civil society and international actors participating and influencing maternal health policy agenda setting, the different conceptual approaches to define maternal mortality as a policy problem and civil society organizations (CSOs) as policy actors (or policy entrepreneurs) in the agenda setting process, in different political regimes and contexts.

While transitions to democracy in most countries granted CSOs and officials in those states an opportunity to create participatory institutional structures and propose policy reforms on gender issues, the Peruvian case offers a unique scenario in which the participation of civil society organizations in those structures began in the context of an authoritarian regime. It demonstrates that institutional structures for participation in policy decision making are permeated by multiple governance frameworks – developmental governance, democratic governance and human rights governance – and adapt to different political regimes regardless of their original purposes and expected development. Finally, this study also reveals that democratic participation allows for diverse mechanisms and positions about controversial issues such as sexual and reproductive health policies that have not always advanced women´s rights.

Ruth Iguiñiz-Romero is an assistant professor of health policies at the School of Public Health and Administration University Cayetano Heredia in Peru, with over twelve years of experience conducting qualitative research. Her interests are in governance and citizenship, with a focus on the participation and empowerment of civil society organizations and vulnerable populations due to gender and ethnic inequalities. As a social scientist trained in anthropology, history and public policy, Ruth’s analysis of health systems and policies is informed by the intersection between historical, intercultural, public health, gender and human rights frameworks.
