Abstract

In the present research work, an analysis was made about economic and patrimonial violence against women in Cuenca canton in the period 2017- 2018. Being the problem basis, the fact of determining what has caused economic and patrimonial damage against women in Cuenca canton, it has been possible to verify the violence that is generated against woman, within the family, it occurs when the husband, or cohabiting, takes money control, or family property, causing economic damage to woman. So also within the workplace, where decisions are made mostly taken by male, salaries and promotions are higher for men and no more for women, when in fact they hold the same positions and responsibilities, therefore the power exercised by men over the women is the one that generates the economic and patrimonial damage. Discriminatory cultural norms and economic inequalities have been used to deny women’s human rights and perpetuate violence.
