Juana Huanca, non-commissioned officer of the First Division for the Investigation of Homicide: “We women came more than anything to add up the results”

Juana Juancanon-commissioned officer of the First Homicide Division, expressed the importance of the entry of women into this division of the National Police, and on International Women’s Day, he emphasized the importance of women’s contribution to the work of this institution.

“Women came more than anything to add. We have a very clear goal, which is to uncover violent deaths and give some peace of mind to the families of the victims. For example, in the intelligence activities that are carried out during the investigation, from human sources. A woman has that charisma, unlike a man, who can reach people a little more, who can capture the witness in a more subtle way,” he said. Things as they are from RPP news.

Huanca she remembered when she began her work with such experienced people, and noted that she, like her colleagues, gradually mastered the tasks in Homicide department.

“There are places where men cannot enter or pass unnoticed. So we, women and very young, came to the Homicide Squad to form. At that time it was something new to work with a group of very experienced adult men, unlike us that we had just left the institution. Day after day we try to learn,” he added.

The situation of women leaders in the provinces of Lima

Governor of Lima Province Rosa Vasquez Cuadrado; and Moquegua Regional Governor Gilia Gutiérrez Ayala analyzed the situation of Peruvian women on the occasion of International Women’s Day through the Ampliación de Noticias program.

Rosa Vasquez Cuadrado recalled that she managed to become the first mayor of the province of Huarachiri, where there was always machismo, and to face this reality “was not easy.”

“Every woman running for office should think about doing well because otherwise she either opens doors for other women or closes doors, depending on the work that can be developed,” she said.

The governor of the province of Lima emphasized that her managerial staff includes managers, directors and bosses, “who must have their own space and opportunities.” However, he expressed regret that there are still few women in leadership positions in the regions and localities in the country.

For her part, Gilia Gutiérrez Ayala recalled that she was the victim of “macho attacks” when she was running her political campaign for governor of Moquegua. He indicated that he is now seeking parity in office at the level of all functional positions in the regional government.

“In this regional government of Moquegua, women are actively involved in the direction management. In a certain sense, we also sought to create a women’s front that we can join in the development of the region,” he said. .
