ALIMUPER
Peruvian women's organization
Accion para la Liberacion de la Mujer Peruana (ALIMUPER, Action for the Liberation of Peruvian Women) was a Peruvian feminist organization active in the 1970s.
History
ALIMUPER was founded in 1973, by Ana Maria Portugal. Its members were mostly from the educated middle classes. The organization shared a small office with Creatividad y Cambio, a Catholic feminist organization founded by two Maryknoll Sisters, Rosa Dominga and Timotea.
ALIMUPER organized demonstrations against Mother's Day being commercialized, and for the right to contraception and abortion. In 1978 it organized a march supporting the Nicaraguan Revolution. ALIMUPER called a march for abortion rights on International Women's Day 1979. Few women attended, and some who did voiced uncertainty whether it was appropriate to publicly demonstrate on the issue in a country "torn between hunger and misery". Coordinating with a London-based international movement that year, it also demanded the government sponsor programmes for abused women.
In 1980 ALIMUPER and Creatividad y Cambio moved to a new building, Casa de la Mujer, which they shared with CMP Flora Tristán.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “ALIMUPER” as peruvian women's organization. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the history & society register because the source frames it as peruvian women's organization. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The record creator and administrative purpose are central evidence, because official documentation reflects both action and institutional priorities. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 1, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q108308894. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1973, 1978, 1979 and 1980.
Later summaries often reconcile disputed chronology or motive more neatly than the contemporary record permits. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
