Estudio socio jurídico sobre el femicidio, como manifestación de extrema violencia contra la muje

Abstract

Abstract: This research analyzes one of the existing problems not only in our country but throughout Latin America, such as femicide, for this reason, the main objective of this thesis was the socio-legal analysis of femicide and violence against women in Ecuadorian legislation, developing a legal and doctrinal study on femicide, as well as laws that have been generated to prevent this crime, which was typified in the Comprehensive Organic Criminal Code. Case studies were developed on femicide sentences issued by the Court of Criminal Guarantees in Ecuador from 2014 to 2020. In this sense, we synthesized the background, considerations and foundations, legal and doctrinal references of the sentences, which resulted in a legal vacuum that does not allow identifying this crime as such, for lack of regulations that can prove this fact. Likewise, the different public policies that the Ecuadorian State has been implementing in recent years to try to mitigate this social problem that affects society were studied.
