    El espacio importa para el desarrollo humano: el caso peruano
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Peru. Departamento de Economía, 2018-06)
    Development—defined as the expansion of both the capabilities acquired by people and the opportunities available to them—occurs in spaces which actually exist; these spaces can foster or delay development and, consequently, restrict liberties. This paper explores the role that the geographical-social space plays in the human development of the different regions of Peru. We find that indeed space matters for human development.

    From victims to survivors: Understanding the victims’ suffering
    (Taylor and Francis, 2024-01-01)
    This chapter presents a review of the literature related to the impact of sexual abuse in human development and focuses on abuses perpetrated on children. It is divided in three sections. First, the author analyzes the short term and long-term consequences of sexual abuse. It is important to recognize that sexual abuse is not experienced in the same way by victims in different stages of development; consequently, risk factors and protective factors intervene in the processes that determine the outcome of the experience. Special attention is given to the role of spirituality and/or religiosity in human development and the effect of abuse perpetrated by religious authorities. Secondly, employing a systemic approach, the author discusses the role of social and cultural factors that contribute to the occurrence, the maintenance, and the denial of child sexual abuse, and the ways in which these variables support or hinder the resiliency of the victims. Finally, integrating recent discoveries about the characteristics of institutional abuse, the author argues that this concept could contribute to the understanding of the recent sexual abuse crisis within the Catholic Church, and should help develop adequate treatment and preventive services.
