Análisis del derecho constitucional a una vida libre de violencia y su vigencia dentro del estado de excepción decretado por la pandemia. Estudio aplicado en el cantón Machala

Abstract

The central object of this research is the right to a life free of violence. The main objective of the work sought to determine to what extent the right to a life free of violence of the families of the city of Machala was affected, during the confinement decreed in the state of emergency due to the coronavirus pandemic. A life free of violence constitutes the right of people not to be victims of any of the historically appreciated forms of violence, both in the family environment and in different social spaces. In the imperative confinement that developed during the months of March, April and May 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a very alarming phenomenon was observed that had to do with the increase in rates and indicators of violence over all intrafamilial; something almost generalized, with the city of Machala being a clear example of this phenomenon. In this way, the present investigation has legal and social relevance, since it will allow us to expose a reality that has always been an object of concern for people and therefore for the State, developing strategies, campaigns and programs for the eradication of violence that seem to continue to be fruitless.
