The present research aimed to explore the impact of forced sterilizations on the identity of women victims of the National Program of Reproductive Health and Family Planning (NPRHFP) during the government of Alberto Fujimori (1996-2000). The specific objectives were to address the representation of women as victims, understand the impact of forced sterilizations on overall health, and describe the processes of resilience and posttraumatic growth in women. To achieve this, a qualitative methodology was chosen, and the information was analyzed using a deductive thematic analysis approach. Interviews were conducted with five women who were victims of forced sterilizations, and themes were identified to infer results that allowed the interpretation of the phenomenon under study. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that forced sterilizations have hindered the normative processes of biological, emotional, and social development of women. The recovery process has enabled women to face the “crises“ of development and reduce the adverse effects of the traumatic experience through coping mechanisms and post-violence growth. Women collectively represent themselves as survivors, a term they associate with strength and empowerment. They continue to be victims, but not “ideal victims”, deserving justice and reparation. All of this leads to the conclusion that forced sterilizations have significantly impacted the identities of women survivors by transforming their perspective of themselves, the world, and their life projects.
