(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) López Lozada, Daniel Fernando; Rodríguez Pacheco, Julie Silvana; Pozo Cabrera, Pablo Arturo; 0106200298; 0106525843
This research examines the controversy surrounding the terms femicide and feminicide in Ecuadorian criminal law. The methodology includes quantitative and qualitative approaches, utilizing inductive-deductive and analytical-systematic methods. Research techniques include the demonstration of statistics on existing femicide cases in Ecuador and a literature review. Regarding the results, the theoretical justifications for the consequences of the confusion between these terms are provided, highlighting the potential violation of both victims and defendants of this crime. Additionally, a suggestion and possible resolution to this issue, often overlooked by Ecuadorian legislation jurists, are presented. The controversy lies in precisely defining which of these terms is most appropriate to describe murders and gender-based violence. Some argue that the term "feminicide" is broader because it emphasizes the gendered nature of these crimes and recognizes systematic discrimination against women. Others contend that "femicide" is more inclusive and can encompass a variety of women's murders, even those not necessarily related to gender discrimination.
