Sandra Gamboa


Sandra Ayala Gamboa, a 21 year old girl from Peru, was raped and found death on february 22th in 2007 in La Plata, Argentina. The young girl came to La Plata at the end of 2006 with the idea to study Medicine and to acompany her boyfriend who was living in the city.
It has been more than two years since the body of Sandra was found in a deserted gouvernement building, and still nobody has been convicted.


Sandra´s mother, Nelly, thinks that behind the murder of her daughter is ¨somebody with power¨ and that would explain the existence of the ¨pact of silence¨ to keep the impunity. She tells us about irregularities in the political and juridical investigation. Not all evidence has been investigated and there seems to be lack of interest to solve the case. But Nelly doesnt give up her hope and every 22th of the month she gathers in front of the house where the lifeless body of her daughter was found to ask for justice and attention for the case.

The following photos are taken at the 22nd of april
