Item Los Derechos humanos y la prevención del delito de Femicidio en el Ecuador(Universidad Técnica de Ambato, Facultad de Jurisprudencia y Ciencias Sociales, Posgrado, Maestría en Derecho penal y Procesal penal, 2019-11) Quiñones Escuntar, Galo Alexander; Bazantes Ecobar, Washington JavierFrom the doctrinal perspective, the crime of femicide or feminicide comprises one of the most serious realities facing societies in the world, being the most brutal form of violence against women that has been generated from other phenomena such as machismo, patriarchy, gender roles and stereotypes, many of which are perpetrated, repeated and accepted by members of society. Although this type of crime has been generated throughout the world, Latin America holds the saddest record of being the Region where more femicides are committed, since 15 of the 25 countries where more femicides are committed are in this Region, which forces government authorities and society in general to look for mechanisms that mitigate this phenomenon. In Ecuador, the situation is not far, since in recent years there has been a growth in cases of this crime, being the inefficient state strategy, since it has only sought to combat the phenomenon based on punishment, by criminalization of the crime, but nothing has been done to strengthen the preventive aspect. In this context, some of the public policies that have begun to be developed to prevent crime have completely forgotten the fundamental axis of human rights, which is essential to achieve the reduction and elimination of these terrible cases.
