Abstract

Domestic violence is a current problem that affects all social strata. The objective of this study is to analyse the legal institution of protection measures in cases of domestic violence, their purpose, effectiveness in risk situations, as well as their preventive function, the risk involved in their revocation in cases of domestic violence and the standards conventions that the State must fulfil in its duty to eradicate violence against women as the main defender of constitutional rights and guarantees, especially in an issue that continues to be a problem with high rates in the country. The methodology used is a documentary design with a qualitative approach, to demonstrate whether it is done in compliance with the Pro Hominem principle when granting protection measures to victims of family violence. As a result, it was concluded that it is feasible and reasonable to maintain precautionary protection measures regardless of the outcome of the process. These measures seek to prevent revictimization, promote behavioural changes in aggressors and hold them accountable for their actions. By maintaining these protective measures on an ongoing basis, we contribute to creating a safe and protective environment for people affected by family violence, providing them with the necessary support to overcome this situation and promoting a culture of respect and non-violence in society.
