Abstract
The current law in Panama comprehensively regulates and protects victims of domestic violence, specifically women, from a gender perspective. As is well known, women are victims of countless forms of abuse and violations of their human rights simply for being women, and this circumstance puts them at a disadvantage within their homes and in society. It is also sought, through a thorough explanation, to clarify the origin of existing laws, the path taken to arrive at the current laws, and the routes to obtaining these rights. With this in mind, a brief discussion will be provided to determine whether these laws are effective or not at the time a victim requests their application and whether they are of such a hierarchy that potential aggressors or recipients of the law feel obligated to respect women in their full capacity as human beings entitled to fundamental human rights, otherwise they may be subject to the sanctions provided for therein. In such a case, it is important to determine whether such sanctions, whether criminal, monetary, or administrative, constitute a true form of justice and reparation for the victim or, on the contrary, whether such sanctions are merely palliative measures to justify the issuance of the regulations.
