Violencia política contra la mujer y su impunidad en el Ecuador.

Abstract

The acts of political gender violence suffered by women candidates, elected officials, activists, human rights defenders, political or social leaders, among others, in Ecuador are seen daily, despite the efforts of international and state organizations to reduce them to through policies and laws. This work aims to propose reforms both to the Code of Democracy to delimit the administrative infractions of this form of violence, and to the Comprehensive Organic Penal Code, which, at the moment, does not have any criminal type that sanctions it, all of this, in order to create contraventions and crimes of this kind. The research approach is qualitative, synthetic analytical and hermeneutic methods were applied using as references scientific articles taken from high-impact and regional magazines, books of doctrine in Law and research, news published in national newspapers and international media and publications. taken from official pages of international human rights organizations. It is concluded that, to help ensure that there is no impunity for acts carried out against women who are dedicated to politics, the proposed reforms are necessary, without prejudice to the education without gender stereotypes that feminism so longs for, to achieve true equity between men and women.
