Peru's success story in terms of growth and poverty reduction requires a more nuanced evaluation, given persistent inequalities and the government's failure to guarantee social rights and ensure sustainable growth through sound fiscal practices. This short video offers two compelling examples of unjustified rights deprivations caused by the country's unfair fiscal and budgetary policies: the setbacks in bilingual intercultural education policy and the lack of adequate funding for cancer policies. Interviews with affected people, specialists, and field footage convincingly argue that Peru must reform its fiscal policies to address deficits in health and education rights that disproportionately affect Indigenous children and poor women.
