Abstract

Violence against women is one of the social and political problems that require the most attention in the region. The increase of femicide cases, coupled with a lack of interest from the State in addressing this problem, encourages the development of studies and proposals to break the discourse of permanent impunity that has permeated society and has given way to the constant violation of the human rights of girls and women. The inquiries presented in this work aim to investigate the right to Integral Reparation in cases of femicide in Ecuador, to achieve this, the methodological path was taken from a descriptive and empirical level through the application of the quali-quantitative method; this will be developed through the application of surveys and interviews that guide the fulfillment of the different purposes of this investigation. By the aforementioned, the level of knowledge possessed by both practicing law professionals, and prosecutors and judges of criminal guarantees have about the investigated topic, was revealed. The nature of the study required a research area framed in the field of Public Policy, Law and Society; therefore the proposal has an effect upon the adequacy of a monitoring system of jurisdictional decisions regarding Integral Reparation for indirect victims of Femicide, allowing to determine that the fulfillment of the described right is not guaranteed as it should be.
