Portal on Political Gender Violence

This project, led by UN Women in Ecuador, aims to highlight issues related to gender-based political violence against women in the country. Women, like men who are actively involved in politics, whether partisan or in other areas, are subject to public scrutiny and social control. Therefore, gender-based political violence should not be confused with critical analysis or denunciation of irregularities in the performance of office, as long as they are well-founded and do not constitute ongoing practices of political harassment aimed precisely at discrediting the presence of women in the political sphere. This portal provides information about gender-based political violence against women, the complaint and case follow-up process, the compilation of existing regulations, as well as a catalog of public support services and civil society organizations.
