violence against women and girls that seeks, mainly, to call for reflection by all people
in society to put an end to this serious violation. Of rights. Its objectives are: to
empower women, adolescents and girls; transform stereotypes; promote more just and
egalitarian societies, free from prejudice; and promote an active role for men in the
prevention of gender-based violence.

deserves to be punished for expressing her sexuality. This thinking is rooted in many
cultures and in Latin America and Ecuador it leads to discrimination and violence
against the female gender.
