==== Genocide in Paraguay ====

The genocide of indigenous peoples in Paraguay took place between 1956 and 1989 under the presidency of General [[Alfredo Stroessner]]. The Aché in particular were subjected to killings and ethnic cleansing by loggers, miners and farmers. It is estimated that around 900 Aché people were killed, amounting to to 85% of the population. The notion of whether or not the systematic killings of the Paraguayan natives amounted to genocide is debated by historians.

==== [[Plan Verde]] ====

In the early 20th century, the Peruvian government adopted the theory of eugenics as a means of population control within the country. After the overthrow of president Alan García in 1989, the [[Alberto Fujimori]] administration established the [[National Population Program]] to sterilize women deemed "unfit" for society, including 300,000 indigenous Peruvians. The project continued until Fujimori was forced to flee to Japan in 2000.
