DELITO DE VIOLENCIA PSICOLÓGICA EN EL ECUADOR

Abstract

The present research work focuses on the different legal systems relating to the crime of psychological violence, where the active subject is punished with imprisonment in accordance with the provisions of the Organic Comprehensive Criminal Code and according to the magnitude of the damage caused to the victim. Said crime must be proven according to the respective investigations. The purpose of international human rights treaties and the Organic Comprehensive Criminal Code is to sanction and discourage this type of crime. In Ecuador, through the laws, the rights of women and the family are guaranteed to lead a life free of violence, with formal and material equality, giving due protection to anyone whose rights have been violated. The victims of these crimes may raise the appropriate criminal actions so that the aggressor is sanctioned for the damages caused and so the rule can be applied according to the law.
