Abstract
Femicide is a serious crime based on gender inequalities rooted in society and that contribute to the perpetuation of violence against women. In Ecuador, as in other countries, power relations play a fundamental role in the context of femicide. The objective of this review is to analyze the conception of power relations in the crime of femicide in Ecuadorian legislation. The methodology used was qualitative in which a bibliographic review was made in the most relevant databases. According to the investigation, the high levels of femicide crimes in Ecuador have led several countries in the region to classify it within their legal bodies. This suggests that, although the criminalization of femicide has contributed to increasing social awareness about murders due to gender violence, there are still challenges regarding a clear classification within the norm, which allows the definition of the crime in terms of power relations, which should also be included within the articles in the COIP (Comprehensive Organic Criminal Code).
