We haven't yet had exemplary punishments (for acid attacks), maybe in the case of Natalia there will be an exemplary punishment given ... levels of impunity remain high.

Women in general are attacked in the face ... attacks against men are generally more in the torso, which aren't aimed at ending their lives. It's a premeditated crime.

This is an unparalleled decision that makes it clear that what happened to Correa and other women is not a crime of passion, which only serves to justify the actions of the perpetrator, but is a crime based on gender, it sends a message to society that such crimes don't end in impunity, and gives us a tool with which to get other convictions for femicide in the future, with a maximum prison sentence of 40 years without parole.
