Una mirada a la legislación y normativa vigente del género en Ecuador

With a review of legal regulations of gender in Ecuador, this work shows its current status and the progress from a theoretical and practical progression to build a model of society based in the philosophy of good living. Through the qualitative methodology and the documentary method, 13 legal instruments and 4 state plans and projects were analyzed. The results show that despite the important legislative advances, there are still shortcomings in gender matters, since in practice it is required, on the one hand, that the state guarantee compliance with the regulations, and that, on the other, that society in its jointly assume it responsibly and make it possible.
