Abstract
ILLICACHI GUZNAY, Juan. Las mujeres en un país plurinacional e intercultural, Ecuador. La ventana [online]. 2018, vol.6, n.48, pp.358-389. ISSN 1405-9436.
The text analyzes the way in which the Ecuadorian multinational and intercultural Constitution, approved in 2008, on the one hand, incorporates regulations that establish criminal sanctions against discrimination and gender violence, requires that political parties implement the principle of parity, generates the Integral Penal Code; similarly, the national government signed the agreements with several state institutions and declared national campaing against gender violence; on the other hand, despite these discourses and attributes, gender violence has not been eradicated, it is configured and, in practice, not only violence and feminicide persist, but worse, it is on the increase. The text intends to broaden the debate on the subject and it is desirable that the following pages be read not only as an academic exercise but also of the dabate recognition and questioning of the distance between what is said and what is done. Data from this study were collected collaboratively by the autor and a group of students from the Escuela de Psicologia-UNACH (School of Psychology).
Keywords : the 2008 Constitution; feminicide; election politics; women; interculturality.
