Paz y Esperanza Goes to Great Britain

On June 22 Paz y Esperanza went British by opening an office in London, England. This, the newest Paz y Esperanza office makes the international evangelical NGO that works to promote human rights, prevent and combat the abuse and marginalization of women and children as well as make public the atrocities of the internal armed conflict that took place in Peru from 1980-2000, many of which are still "unsolved".

The newest Paz y Esperanza Office is a covenant partnership signed by some 80 people who have worked in and are passionate about human rights, the history, culture, and dynamic people of Peru, Bolivia, and Ecuador. The inauguration of this newest international office of Paz y Esperanza was confirmed in Christ Church and Upton Chapel in London. Graham Gordon, the director of the board, said "Our promise and work will be to promote and bring awareness to the churches of Britain about the human rights situation in Peru, Boliva, and Ecuador."

Paz y Esperanza began in Lima, Peru in the 1980's by several lawyers working on human rights violations, but now has multiple regional offices in Peru, as well as international offices in Ecuador, Bolivia, and the United States (Minnesota).
