Abstract

Domestic violence has become one of the biggest problems of society, that is why, the State through its legal systems protects victims by an expedited process which is managed in relation to the due process and the constitutional principles. The “Código Orgánico Integral Penal” (COIP) brought changes about the procedural substantiation of the domestic violence’s offenses; therefore, this academic essay is directed to the judicial officers, lawyers and to the citizenship in general in order, for them, to know about the current procedures that must be followed for a proper administration of justice and to guarantee the fundamental rights that family’s members had. The used methodology was a case study, in which, several cases of domestic violence was revised; leading to the results that the judicial officers are not handled strictly by the procedure determined by the COIP, they unaware some of the procedural stages and do not sanction in the correct way leaving the victim without legal protection.
