Abstract

Abstract: This thesis focuses on the analysis of Ruling No. 889-20-JP/21, issued by the Constitutional Court of Ecuador and related to the guarantee of the rights of persons with disabilities, specifically those of Ms. Zoila Gardenia Lainez Cabezas. This research is framed within Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) No. 16, which is based on peace, justice, and strong institutions. It seeks to demonstrate how this ruling seeks to strengthen free access to justice and the effective protection of rights in contexts of vulnerability. From a legal and social perspective, the background of this case will be reviewed, as well as the arguments of the judicial bodies, the decision adopted by the Constitutional Court, and, consequently, a critical analysis of the impact of this resolution. Additionally, the procedural shortcomings that violated fundamental rights are identified, and finally, the role of constitutional jurisprudence as a mechanism to guarantee equity and social justice is reflected upon. The paper concludes with recommendations that promote comprehensive training oriented toward respect for human rights and the strengthening of public institutions.
