For that purpose, it begins describing the legal recognition process of violence against women in Latin America and the Caribean, and introduces feminist scholar’s contributions. It continues outlining the expected benefits in which the application of protection orders as a means to prevent women’s revictimization are globally sustained. Then, it describes how these principles have been incorporated into the Southern Cone legislation. Finally, it provides a detailed description of protective orders nature in Uruguay, under the legal denomination of precautionary measures (strict definition); and addresses the institutional circuit that each case of intimate partner violence towards women completes from the domestic violence report to the follow up process performed by the police.El objetivo de este artículo es introducir a las órdenes de protección como el principal instrumento legal para evitar que las mujeres que han sufrido violencia en el marco de una pareja actual o previa sean nuevamente victimizadas. Para ello, se describe el proceso de reconocimiento jurídico de la violencia hacia las mujeres en Latinoamérica y el Caribe, introduciendo aportes desde el feminismo jurídico. Luego se enumeran los beneficios esperados de las órdenes de protección para prevenir la revictimización de las mujeres, y se describe cómo este espíritu ha sido materializado en el marco jurídico de los países del Cono Sur. Finalmente, se realiza una descripción detallada de la naturaleza de las órdenes de protección en Uruguay, denominadas medidas cautelares, y del circuito institucional que cada caso de violencia conyugal hacia las mujeres recorre desde la radicación de la denuncia de violencia doméstica hasta el seguimiento policial de las medidas.application/pdfspaUniversidad Católica del Uruguayhttps://revistas.ucu.edu.uy/index.php/revistadederecho/article/view/2554/2496http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRevista de Derecho; No. 24 (2021): Revista de Derecho ; 5-31Revista de Derecho; Núm. 24 (2021): Revista de Derecho ; 5-31Revista de Derecho; N.º 24 (2021): Revista de Derecho ; 5-312393-61931510-371410.22235/rd24reponame:LIBERIinstname:Universidad Católica del Uruguayinstacron:Universidad Católica del Uruguayprotection ordersviolence against womenrevictimizationintimate partner violenceórdenes de protecciónmedidas cautelaresviolencia hacia las mujeresrevictimizaciónparejaProtection orders as a means to combat intimate partner violence against women: principles, legal framework and issuance in UruguayLas órdenes de protección como herramienta para combatir la violencia hacia las mujeres en el marco de la (ex)pareja: fundamentos, marco jurídico y aplicación en Uruguayinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPapers evaluated by peersArtículos evaluados por paresAvaliados por paresinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion10895/72772025-12-22 13:47:44.068metadata.onlyoai:liberi.ucu.edu.uy:10895/7277https://liberi.ucu.edu.uyInstitucionalhttps://liberi.ucu.edu.uy/Universidad privadahttps://www.ucu.edu.uy/https://liberi.ucu.edu.uy/server/oaifranco.pertusso@ucu.edu.uyUruguayopendoar:103422026-06-18T06:50:27.486427LIBERI - Universidad Católica del Uruguaytrue
