Abstract

The present study was born from the interest in deepening the knowledge on violence against women. It is important to point out that studies have shown a relationship between domestic violence against women and severe psychological illnesses that compromise the healthy development of this. In this sense, from an extensive literature review of this issue, we sought to identify the main reasons for holding the woman in this type of violence aimed at a thorough study on the subject. From this study it was possible to deepen the knowledge on violence against women in order thereby to develop interventions that benefit these women victims of domestic violence.

Keywords: Women; Violence; Domestic Violence.
