Enfoque jurídico sobre la condición de las mujeres refugiadas

Abstract

This work arose from the need to analyze the current legal approach to the condition of refugee women, addressing the rights and guarantees that national and international law give to this group of people who have been displaced from their countries in search of peace for themselves and their families. To do this, bibliographic research techniques were applied through the constant gathering information on national and international legal norms. For that we had the collaboration of the Provincial Directorate of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Human Mobility (MREMH) to obtain statistics on refugee claims filed in Ecuador. To corroborate the information collected we interviewed a group of refugee women, who voluntarily contributed their experiences during the time they have been domiciled in the city of Cuenca, detecting problems to overcome, both aspects, the social and legal. We obtained six judgments relating to proceedings brought by refugee women in matters of childhood and adolescence, criminal, misdemeanor, and for the respective constitutional legal analysis. Finally to make a comparison of the information and data collected, it was possible to conclude that refugee women are covered by a legal, large order, but the intervening barriers in their daily lives hinder the full enjoyment of their rights.
