On the International Day of United Nations against Racism, LUNDU and National Coordinator of Human Rights (CNDDHH), reaffirm our commitment to the fight against racism, a scourge which is still a factor in the violation of human rights of Peruvians .
In Peru, even identifies a tendency to recognize the contribution of racial ethnic diversity, especially orginarios and ancient peoples such as the Andean, Amazonian and Afro-Peruvian, exotic and archaic perspectives, ignoring the real contribution of these populations in building the political, economic and scientific in our country.
Racism, when it intersects with sexism and other forms of discrimi n, results in social exclusion, political and economic discrimination peoples or individuals. This exclusion is expressed in a structural way (eg less than 2% of the Afro access to higher education) and, on a daily basis through the racist insult (in a semester racist adjectives 203 6 / 2 compared to printed afros with apes, gorillas, cuckoos, according to the Observatory Afropreuano). Campaigns such as "Show Racism the Red Card" at stadiums soccer, "Stop Racism" and "Join Against Racism has collected more than 4 000 testimonies in various regions, are just some of the proposals for civil society to this problem.
political actions to combat racism are also proposals for redress. The repair is not just an action, is a prospect. In the context of people and groups facing discrimination on racial and ethnic groups, resulting in two dimensions: first the development of policies to combat de facto racism, and on the other hand, policies that reduce the gaps caused by the days, years , decades or centuries for a people and its members, have been violated and offended by this racist structure.
The repair involves the generation of indicators for these populations, their inclusion in national censuses, the curricular changes that recognizes their contribution (perhaps we are taught in school that Micaela Bastidas was of African descent?). Also ethnic health policy-WHO criteria, which take into account the recurrent disease is determined by racial ethnicity. In turn STI prevention policies, HIV / AIDS that take into account the special vulnerability of these populations aggravated by racism, sexism and violence against women. An example of this perverse relationship is that the main victims of the civil war were indigenous women sexually abused.
The final report of the Committee on the Elimination of Racial DISCRIMINATION n UN (CERD), draws attention to the Peruvian Government about the lack of a comprehensive policy against racism. However, it is covertly racist perspective, which some conservatives question, minimize and relativize the agendas of those stocks with arguments that accuse them of self-segregated and not contribute to strengthening national identity.
These conservative positions previously determined the political complexion in Latin America, now are unsuccessful because the movements and traditional political groups -More power than cattle have had to accept that their models and structures are unsustainable, and are agreeing to the movements representing indigenous peoples and Afro now earn more and more space of representation n in the state. It is worth remembering that in the Americas there are more than 150 million Afro-descendant population in this part of the world by the slave trade. Nor is it a coincidence that the UN has declared 2001 as the International Year of People with African ancestry. "
The Peruvian State is responsible for developing a comprehensive policy against racism. That is educational, but actually punished.
