Motivación en las sentencias emitidas por los jueces de primer nivel en Ecuador

Abstract

Abstract: This study examines the relevance of the gender perspective in the administration of justice. The research was conducted in Ecuador, based on an analysis of Constitutional Court Ruling 3424-22-EP/26. It assessed how the failure of judicial officials to apply a gender perspective violates the right of access to justice in situations where gender-based violence escalates ranging from economic disputes, such as child support cases, to crimes against life. Through a doctrinal and jurisprudential analysis, the study demonstrates that a lack of judicial sensitivity fosters the revictimization of women and their families, undermining international commitments set out in SDG 5. The study s contribution lies in highlighting the need for comprehensive protection mechanisms that ensure the recognition of the risk of extreme violence in family law proceedings. It concludes that applying a gender perspective is an indispensable tool for achieving justice.
