    Older adults form part of the priority attention group recognised by the Ecuadorian State, to guarantee the protection and care of older adults the Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador in its article 38 establishes public policies and attention programmes in favour of this group, who due to their vulnerable condition are prone to suffer any type of violence, be it physical, psychological, sexual, economic and patrimonial, as well as negligence and abandonment, generated by society or by their closest environment. The main objective of this research project is to "Analyse public policies to eradicate violence towards the elderly in the Salcedo Municipality", for which it has been necessary to apply the qualitative-quantitative method, using descriptive, explanatory and analytical research. Data collection was carried out through the application of techniques and instruments such as a survey of older adults and interviews with the authorities of the Salcedo municipality linked to the protection of the rights of older adults. As a result, it is concluded that 68% of the older adult population surveyed suffers from violence of some kind, and this has been generated by their closest family environment, which added to the lack of knowledge of this problem, the Salcedo municipality does not have a public policy aimed at eradicating violence against older adults
