El efecto del empoderamiento femenino en la violencia de género contra la mujer por parte de la pareja. Evidencia del caso ecuatoriano.

Abstract

This research article analyzes the effect of female empowerment on gender-based intimate partner violence against women in Ecuador, a country where levels of violence stand out in the region. To do so we use the data collected from the 2019 National Survey on Family Relations and Gender Violence against Women. Using an instrumental variable regression model, the results indicate a negative association between women empowerment and intimate partner violence. Additionally, we verify the transgenerational nature of violence.
