This research project was carried out with the objective of critically analyzing the protection measures in cases sentenced and related to violence against women of the Judicial Unit for Violence against Women and Members of the Family Nucleus of the year 2021 in the canton of Cuenca. We have chosen to use a qualitative methodology for this study, since we have based ourselves on the information already existing in the current law of our country on the process that is carried out in cases of violence against women. The type of study corresponds to qualitative and bibliographical research. The results found in the research are as follows: with regard to the first objective of this study, the intervention process used by officials in cases of violence against women was identified; it was also identified that the most frequent protection measures issued by the judges of the Unit for Violence against Women and Family Members are 1, 2, 3 and 4; finally, the main challenges faced by the officials of the Unit were examined, resulting in the following challenges: lack of economic and personnel resources; abandonment of the process by the victim; lack of specialization of the officials in the area of gender.
