Aplicación de políticas para prevenir y erradicar violencia de género LGBTIQ+, en el cantón 24 de Mayo.

Abstract

This research addresses the problem of gender violence against the LGBTIQ+ community in the 24 de Mayo Canton, Province of Manabí, with the main objective of proposing the effective application of public policies to prevent and eradicate said violence. The research starts from the formulation of the problem: Why are national public policies to prevent and eradicate gender violence against the LGBTIQ+ community are not applied effectively in the canton 24 de Mayo, Province of Manabí?; and, How can the Rights Protection System be strengthened to ensure its implementation at the local level? Despite the existence of national policies in the National Development Plan 2024-2025 and the 20-30 agenda, there is a notable absence of specific local policies that address this problem in the canton. The study focuses on identifying and analyzing existing protection methods, in turn proposing the implementation of local public policies with strategies for effective execution. It is suggested that the lack of local strategies by the Decentralized Autonomous Government of the Canton 24 de Mayo for the application of national policies contributes significantly to the persistence of gender violence against the LGBTIQ+ community. The conclusions of the study reveal that, although there are national policies that seek to prevent gender violence, their implementation in the Canton of 24 de Mayo is insufficient. The local Rights Protection Council presents significant deficiencies, lacking adequate mechanisms and strategies to effectively confront gender violence. It is concluded that the lack of specific local policies and the weakness in the application of existing policies are key factors that perpetuate this situation.
