Análisis de las medidas de protección para víctimas de violencia de género en el cantón Riobamba, provincia de Chimborazo: eficacia en su implementación

Abstract

Abstract: This research, "Analysis of protection measures for victims of gender-based violence in the canton of Riobamba, province of Chimborazo: effectiveness of their implementation," is part of the Master's Degree in Criminal Procedural Law at the Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja. Its purpose is to examine the effectiveness of protection measures granted to victims of gender-based violence in the judicial and institutional context of Riobamba in 2024. It combines a socio-legal perspective with a quantitative survey methodology to evaluate the implementation of measures contemplated in the Ecuadorian Constitution, the Comprehensive Organic Criminal Code, and the Comprehensive Organic Law to Prevent and Eradicate Violence against Women. It identifies deficiencies in inter-institutional coordination, limited training of justice officials in a gender perspective, weaknesses in monitoring and following up on measures, and structural barriers that limit access to the protection system. Despite the existence of a robust legal framework, its practical application proves ineffective, perpetuating situations of risk and vulnerability. Training for officials, case monitoring, and increased budgets for protective services and implementation are recommended.
