La protección penal de las mujeres frente a la violencia digital en Ecuador: Un análisis crítico de la legislación vigente y propuestas de reforma inspiradas en la Ley Olimpia de México.

Abstract

Abstract: This thesis analyzes the criminal protection of women against digital violence in Ecuador, critically evaluating current legislation and proposing reforms inspired by Mexico's Olimpia Law. Using a quantitative approach, the Comprehensive Organic Criminal Code (COIP) and the Comprehensive Organic Law to Prevent and Eradicate Violence against Women were examined, identifying gaps such as the lack of autonomous criminalization and insufficient sanctions. The comparative analysis with the Olimpia Law highlights its precise definition and severe penalties, contrasting with the ambiguity in Ecuador. Specific reforms are proposed: criminalizing digital violence, establishing urgent protection measures, creating specialized units, implementing educational programs, and fostering collaboration with digital platforms. The findings, based on documentary analysis and comparisons with legislatures in other countries, underscore the need for a robust legal framework to reduce impunity and protect victims. This contribution seeks to strengthen the safety and dignity of women in the digital environment in Ecuador.
