On 20 September 2025, protests began in Peru against the administration of Dina Boluarte and the subsequent administration of José Jerí, following the impeachment of Dina Boluarte and the Congress of Peru. Protests against President Jerí grew following allegations of sexual assault against him. This series of demonstrations followed the previous protests that occurred in 2022 and 2023 against the removal of her predecessor, Pedro Castillo.

At least 19 protestors were injured in marches held in Lima on 27 and 28 September according to the National Human Rights Coordinator (CNDDHH). Further protests on 15 October resulted with over 80 injured and one protester killed with multiple gunshot wounds. During clashes, protesters have been observed throwing stones and other objects, and police were seen dispersing crowds with tear gas and rubber bullets.
