Resumen
Esta investigación tiene por objetivo general determinar el alcance y utilización de la legítima defensa de las mujeres que sufren violencia intrafamiliar continua por parte de su cónyuge o conviviente. En tal sentido, se puede evidenciar que dentro de nuestra legislación penal ecuatoriana no contempla el caso particular donde una mujer se defiende de las agresiones múltiples que ha sufrido durante meses o años por parte de su pareja y provoca que éstas sean penalmente responsables y acusadas por el ordenamiento jurídico, a pesar de que ha sido por defensa propia. Es por ello, que es necesario expresar que no se está protegiendo a la mujer que sufre violencia doméstica, más bien se está permitiendo que exista un alto índice de femicidios en manos de sus agresores y en algunos casos, lesiones severas en su humanidad. De eso se desprende la violación de los derechos humanos que deberían ser reconocidos y gozados por las mujeres, mas no limitados. Pudiendo en este sentido, obtener que los operadores de justicia manejen la perspectiva del género al momento de que una mujer ha sido víctima de violencia cíclica en el ámbito marital y reconociendo que su actuar ha sido en defensa propia.
The general objective of this research is to determine the scope and use of self-defense of women who suffer continuous domestic violence by their husband or cohabitant. In this sense, it can be evident that within our Ecuadorian criminal legislation it does not contemplate the case where a woman defends herself against the multiple attacks she has suffered for days or months by her partner and turns them to a criminal and to be accused by the legal system, despite the fact that it was a self-defense action. That is why it is necessary to express that woman who suffer domestic violence are not being protected, rather a high rate of femicides is being made by the hands of their aggressors and in some cases, severe injuries in their humanity. This shows the violation of human rights that should be recognized and provided by women, without being limited. In this regard, it is possible to get justice operators to manage the gender perspective at the time that a woman has been a victim of cyclical violence in the marital sphere and recognizing that her actions have been made in self-defense.
