Perspectiva de género en la aplicación de las medidas de protección otorgadas por la Unidad de Violencia Intrafamiliar durante la emergencia sanitaria del COVID-19 en Cuenca, enero-junio 2020

Abstract

In Ecuador, the issue related to the monitoring of the Protection Measures granted by the Intrafamily Violence Unit has caused failures in the guarantee of the victims' rights in terms of the applicability and effectiveness of said norms for the aggressor, which contributes to the fact that the scourge of domestic violence every day continues to claim more victims in our country, without apparent total control. That is why this investigation seeks from criminal dogmatics to analyze the effectiveness in the application of the Protection Measures Granted by the Intrafamily Violence Unit in Cuenca. For this, a descriptive-exploratory, explanatory, observational analytical methodology was applied. In the data collection, a documentary bibliographic analysis was carried out and interviews were applied to three Judges of the Cuenca Intrafamily Violence Unit. Obtaining as a result that the protection measures granted by the Intrafamily Violence Unit, during the period of the COVID 19 Pandemic, were insufficient since they could not cover aspects such as socioeconomic, or other types of needs of the victims.
