La pandemia del covid-19 y su incidencia en la violencia intrafamiliar en el Ecuador

Abstract

The objective of this research project is to carry out an analysis of the factors that most influenced the increase in cases of domestic violence in the COVID-19 pandemic. The investigation is based on the fact that when the total confinement of the population was decreed as of March 19, 2020, several problems began to arise in all areas of life and human development, several of them had to return to coexistence between couples and children that as time passed in each of the members of the household suffocation was taking place, this occurred because more than 90% of the households already had a routine life where each one went out to their economic activity or one of the cohabitants, therefore they did not live a harmonious life of marriage or family coexistence, but after the emergence of the pandemic, family coexistence re-emerged; For many, this was an effect that produced an increase in cases of domestic violence, which occurred in most Ecuadorian homes regardless of their social status. The Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador guarantees the full protection of the family, as the fundamental nucleus within society, this is specifically found within article 67. The line of investigation that will be used within the investigation is Exclusion and social integrity and the descriptive research. Therefore, support mechanisms are proposed for those people who are victims of the social problem which is domestic violence.
