Abstract

Gender violence in Ecuadorian daily life has a latency of between 1 in 4 women have experienced sexual violence, which manifests itself in sexual harassment or abuse, groping, making pornographic materials, rape and any sexual act that has not been voluntary or that is achieved through force or manipulation.

Gender-based violence in Ecuador is a significant and persistent problem, affecting a large part of the female population. According to various sources, it is estimated that 6 out of 10 women have experienced some type of gender-based violence throughout their lives, with psychological violence being the most common, reported by 56.9% of women. The Constitution of Ecuador guarantees the right to a life free of violence, reflecting a formal commitment of the State to address this issue, despite legislative advances, gender violence continues to be a structural problem, with historical roots in gender discrimination and inequality, this is manifested in the persistence of stereotypes and cultural practices that perpetuate violence and the subordination of women. In addition, gender stereotypes are determined, which establish specific roles for men and women, contribute to the normalization of violent behaviors. For example, it is considered acceptable for men to exercise control over women, which can manifest itself in physical and emotional violence, this perception of dominance is reinforced through culture and the media, where acts of violence are minimized or justified as "natural" in couple relationships.
