Courage and Hardship: Peruvian Woman's Fight for Justice After Brutal Attack

In the small Peruvian town of Zarumilla, Tumbes, a courageous act of selflessness left Claudia Cedano with life-altering injuries. Cedano intervened when she witnessed a neighbor being strangled, suffering severe head trauma at the hands of the assailant. "They destroyed my head with sticks," a tearful Cedano recounts in the video. Now, her daughter, 16-year-old Marietta, sells candy on the streets to provide for her mother and younger sibling. The attacker remains at large, leaving the Cedano family facing financial hardship and a long road to recovery. Despite the challenges, Marietta remains determined, stating, "I am the provider for my family and my mom." The case highlights the need for justice and support for victims of violence in Peru. Authorities are continuing their investigation, and the community is rallying to assist the Cedano family.
