El feminicidio en el sistema jurídico ecuatoriano

Abstract

This work was done in order to make people aware of our country, about the causes and consequences left by the different types of abuse against women, and to which reference has been made with other Latin American countries that have problems like. Latin American countries have achieved progress in recognizing the rights of women and can state the Inter-American Convention on the Prevention, Punishment and Eradication of Violence Against Women. This standard covers the many events that have to do with violence against the female gender, criteria which have been enriched and applied in society over time.

In Ecuador there have been events that have caused social upheaval, which by its magnitude have made clear the vulnerability of women, and were the triggers for that in our legislation criminalizing the crime of femicide. Justice agencies and the community must respect the rights of every human being and the state guarantees its full compliance
