The research begins by theorizing about aporophobia, a concept approved by the Royal Spanish Academy to refer a phobia over the poor. Documents and reports from national and international organizations were reviewed to characterize, analyze and conceptualize aporophobia, defining the relationship between poverty and discrimination in Peru. A descriptive statistical analysis was conducted to visualize tendencies in discrimination and poverty indicators. In addition, correlation analysis was applied using the Pearson R coefficient with a 0.05 significance. There was a very strong and positive correlation between discrimination and poverty, however the complexity of the concept led to the conclusion where there is a trend towards ethnic cultural discrimination and racial self-discrimination.
