Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: Gender and domestic violence is currently one of the phenomena that is on the rise worldwide and that has been exacerbated by the periods of confinement caused by COVID-19. This phenomenon has a marked significance in Latin American countries. In Ecuador, even when it is considered a crime or misdemeanor according to the Organic Comprehensive Criminal Code, there is evidence of an increase in cases during the period of confinement. In the following article, based on an initial diagnosis, a socioeconomic characterization is carried out and possible risk factors for the phenomenon are determined. Likewise, a proposal of actions is made to mitigate its effects in the Ibarra canton in the province of Imbabura.
