Critical analysis of the integral reparation of indirect victims in cases of femicide in Ecuador

Abstract

Abstract The following work consists of an analytical review of the set of comprehensive reparation measures provided in the Ecuadorian legal system for indirect victims of femicide. Considering the seriousness of such acts, violence against women in Ecuador is one of the most arduous challenges for the Ecuadorian justice system and its legal system in general, given that femicide deaths profoundly affect the victim's family and society in general. The study was approached through a qualitative approach, to identify the comprehensive reparation measures applicable to the indirect victims of the criminal offense to be analyzed. For this purpose, the analytical-synthetic, inductive-deductive, historical-logical and dogmatic methods were applied, as well as the literature review in order to highlight the level of applicability of the comprehensive reparation mechanisms in the convictions, and whether they effectively satisfy the indirect victims, from which, it was determined that these are insufficient to fully repair the victims, especially in the patrimonial aspect.
