Boluarte Uses UN Stage to Pitch Investment and Gender Agenda

Domestic scrutiny over electoral neutrality shadows her outreach.

Overview

  • At a UN event marking 30 years since the Beijing women’s conference, Dina Boluarte highlighted Peru’s 2019 Gender Equality Policy, more than 400 Women’s Emergency Centers, and the 2023 abolition of child marriage.
  • In meetings with business leaders in New York, she urged U.S. and global investors to back projects including a north–south railway and new international airports in Cusco and Arequipa.
  • She acknowledged that poverty in Peru remains high and pledged to deliver more schools and hospitals, saying corruption had stalled projects now being unlocked.
  • The JEE Lima Centro I questioned a PCM social‑media post as favoring Fuerza Popular, a claim Prime Minister Eduardo Arana rejected while defending a new public registry of presidential gifts as a transparency measure.
  • As demonstrations continue to challenge her legitimacy, Boluarte denied responsibility for protest deaths and alleged illicit financing behind some marches, while a CPI poll reported her approval at 2.5%.
