      abstract = {This film documents startling testimonies of women who  were mistreated and sexually abused while seeking care in  Peruvian public health facilities. Their stories are  typical of impoverished women all over Latin America.  Betrayed by the very people they turn to for help, these  women are left humiliated and distrustful of the medical  profession. While most of the victims are young, indigenous  women living in conditions of extreme poverty, they are  determined to have their stories told so that others do not  have to face the same abuse. This video gives a human face  to documented human rights violations. The women regain  their dignity and self respect by speaking out here. As one  twenty-three year old victim of sexual abuse says "No one  ever made me cry before, but that doctor did. All that I  ask of the authorities is that they do me justice." A  powerful assertion of women's rights in Latin America. For  further information about reproductive rights in Latin  America go to www.crlp.org.},
