The objective of this article is to analyse the characteristics of this professional response, and suggest recommendations to enhance the care provided to femicide survivors and their families, in order to make it more significant and context-sensitive. Thus, a qualitative research, including 12 in-depth interviews, was conducted among femicide survivors and family members of femicide victims from the provinces of Imbabura and Carchi in the Ecuadorian highlands. Notwithstanding the governmental efforts, both through legislative changes and the development of care plans for the victims, the findings indicate an ambivalent professional response, as well as a significant lack of support networks for survivors and families of femicide victims. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-sa http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/es/ 0.147 2018 Sociology and Political Science 2018 Q3 Social Sciences (miscellaneous) 2018 Q3 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Nudelman, Anita 4009 813 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
