| description | Reflections about city, women and security draw reflexive axes for academia, and for the design and implementation of public politics. To prevent and address the manifestations of violence, as varied as the power relations that they embody, has proven to be a difficult and challenging task. This article analyzes how the subjective aspects of sexual harassment pose challenges for the integrity of public politics to eradicate it. It is based on the experiences of harassment during their transit through the public space of three women, in Quito, one of the five cities chosen for the pilot initiative of UN Women "Safe Cities and Safe Public Spaces". Also, it examines the role of such subjective aspects in the interaction of the Protocol for action in cases of sexual violence in the integrated passenger system of Quito and the Integral Penal Code, which raises debates about the role of gender representations in the design and implementation of public politics, the intersection between national and local responsibilities, the role of the State facing gender violence and the symbolic value of crimes and contraventions, for the recognition of its manifestations. |

Las reflexiones sobre ciudad, mujeres y seguridad plantean retos para la academia, el diseño y la implementación de políticas públicas. Prevenir y atender las manifestaciones de la violencia, tan variadas como las propias relaciones de poder que encarnan, ha probado ser una tarea ardua y desafiante. El artículo analiza cómo los aspectos subjetivos del acoso sexual plantean retos para la integralidad de las políticas públicas que garantizan la seguridad de las mujeres y el ejercicio de sus derechos en la esfera pública. Se basa en las experiencias de acoso de tres mujeres, durante su tránsito por el espacio público, en Quito, una de las cinco ciudades escogidas para la iniciativa piloto de ONU Mujeres “Ciudades Seguras y Espacios Públicos Seguros”. Examina el papel de dichos aspectos subjetivos en la interacción del Protocolo de actuación en casos de violencia sexual en el sistema integrado de transporte de pasajeros de Quito y la legislación nacional, con énfasis en el Código Orgánico Integral Penal. Interacciones que plantean debates sobre las responsabilidades nacionales y locales en la política pública, el rol del Estado ante la violencia de género y el valor simbólico de delitos y contravenciones, para un entendimiento integral del problema.
