On May 11, 2022, the听Panel on听Comparative Experiences in Cases of Sexual and Gender Violence in the Latam Region: From the Integration of the Gender Approach to Implementation鈥 was held,听organized by 澳门皇冠体育-官网 and ReLeG. During the event we explored the comparative experiences of reparations in cases of sexual and gender-based violence in the region. In particular, the advances that women victims have achieved as a result of their tireless struggle were听discussed, as well as the challenges that they continue to face in order to obtain comprehensive reparations that recognize the individual and collective effects of this violence. Activists and academics participated听in the panel and听discussed the reparations processes in Argentina and Chile after the dictatorships, as well as the pending lawsuits in Peru, particularly in the case of forced sterilizations that are still in process. Finally, a final reflection was made on the state of the debate in the region, taking into account other comparative experiences in Latin America.听
