Abstract

Violence is a problem that has been affecting the different spheres of society. The issue must be treated with responsibility and interest by each of the integral parts of society. Therefore, the objective of this article is to analyze domestic violence suffered by women in the home and how Comprehensive Reparation is provided as a right in Ecuador. A documentary research was conducted, based on a bibliographic review of journals related to the area settled in specialized databases. The results show that Integral Reparation exists as a constitutional right in Ecuador. The importance of reparation lies in the fact that the victim returns to the situation before the events of violence, and that the woman is empowered in her role. In conclusion, it is established that the effects of domestic violence should be identified as triggering agents for the alteration of the family nucleus, which is reflected in: physical abuse, behavioral changes, psychological injuries that cause low self-esteem, depression, and may even lead to death. For this reason, Integral Reparation is an inalienable right of the victims.
