    (2025) Miguel Francisco Moreno-Polo; Reyes Guaranda, Mauricio Esteban; Briones Arias, Christhye Ionne
    ender-based violence (hereinafter GBV) is a relevant topic at both the normative and cultural levels, with clear repercussions within the practice of social and legal sciences. In Ecuador, figures on gender-based violence against women show that it is related to both intimate partner violence and domestic violence. Given this, the objective of this research was to gather relevant scientific information on GBV in Ecuador over the last 8 years. The databases used were ProQuest, WebofScience, Redalyc, and Dialnet. The PRISMA methodology was used for the review, considering the following search terms: "gender-based violence," "intimate partner violence," "partner violence," "Ecuadorian," and "Ecuador." The inclusion criteria were: scientific articles published in peer-reviewed journals, scientific articles written in English and Spanish. Scientific articles were located in the Web of Science, ProQuest, Dialnet, and Redalyc databases. Findings revealed that, despite existing regulations in Ecuador, their implementation is insufficient due to an underlying structural problem stemming from cultural situations related to machismo. The findings highlight inadequate implementation of public policies aimed at reducing and eliminating gender-based violence in Ecuador.
