They are using the millennia-old backstrap loom they abandoned after their operations. 'Can you believe it? It’s the first time I have woven in 27 years,' says Folopa. 'It hurts my tummy, but that is not what worries me. What if I’ve forgotten everything?' she adds in Quechua, shifting to find a more comfortable position on the ground. Using the loom, which is attached to the weaver’s waist, causes regular jolts to the abdomen as the ja’ulla, a wooden rod,...more

"Folopa is emotional as she remembers the nurses forcing her into a car, the bumpy road to Cusco, the doctors’ white coats and the other women at the Antonio Lorena hospital that night in 1997.

"In 1997, neither Folopa nor Huaman knew what an anaesthetic or a tubal ligation was. Between 1996 and 2001, medical teams travelled across Peru, targeting the country’s most vulnerable and poorest communities. The official purpose of the coercive birth control policy led by former president Alberto Fujimori was to fight poverty; it was originally funded by USAid and the UN. Rapid denunciations by community leaders didn’t stop the government from pursuing the policy, using quantified targets, according to Amnesty International" (para 4).
