Abstract

The study on gender violence in the workplace of public companies in Manta 2022, a mixed study was carried out in Manta to analyze gender violence in public companies. The study focused on identifying the magnitude, causes and consequences of this often silenced phenomenon. The Ecuadorian legal framework was examined, academic literature was reviewed, statistical data was collected, and interviews were conducted with experts and victims of violence. The results revealed that sexual, physical and psychological harassment are the most common forms of gender violence, frequently normalized. Factors such as workplace discrimination, lack of knowledge and tolerance of sexist behavior contribute to this problem. Gender violence negatively impacts the health and well-being of victims, manifesting itself in physical and mental problems. Although there are regulations and policies to prevent it, their effective application remains a challenge, requiring a greater commitment from companies to implement prevention protocols, training and support for victims. Promoting a respectful and violence-free work culture is essential to addressing this problem.
