During the internal armed conflict in Peru (1980-2000) the Andean population endured its worst violence, both by subversive groups and by State agents. Among the other collections of poems that represent the civil war, Rocío Silva Santisteban’s Las hijas del terror stands out in its poeticization of the terror experienced by Andean women victims of sexual violence.

Likewise, the categories migrant subject and heterogeneity proposed by Antonio Cornejo Polar, the types of narrator and focalization according to Mieke Bal and Gerard Genette, and the studies on gender by Pierre Bourdieu, Judith Butler and Norma Fuller were taken place. The analysis and interpretation will demonstrate that factors such as spatial context, marginalization, and gender violence significantly influence the migrant status and identity of the child protagonists in these...
