In the office’s report - titled “What happened to them?“ - the first four months of 2023 saw 3,406 complaints of missing women filed.Peru’s “situation... as to disappearances would be classified as a situation of imminent danger,” said Ms Isabel Ortiz, deputy for the Ombudsman. “The State is not taking action to prevent these types of events,” which happen each year in the Andean nation of 33 million people, she said.In 2022, more than 5,380 women, mostly girls and teenagers, were reported missing, a figure 9.7 per cent lower than in 2021.
