Many human rights groups including Amnesty International, Pueblo Advocates, and Manuela Ramos Movement documented cases where women were threatened or bribed into receiving sterilization or another form of birth control.  Sometimes they were simply not informed of the procedure. 

According to a study by the Manuela Ramos Movement, One women reported receiving oral contraceptives to treat headaches and another had an intra-uterine device implanted without her knowledge.

The Pueblo Advocates examined 157 cases of sterilization.  Of these, only a consent form was filled out correctly only 11 times and in 112 cases no consent procedure was even presented.  The Advocates also uncovered 16 deaths as the result of poorly executed sterilization procedures. 

While President Fujimori was presenting a feminist front sympathetic to the plight of the poor, he was in fact using sterilization to oppress impoverished women in the name of development.
