Abstract

A brief review of studies on violence against women in Brazilian society signals that this social phenomenon is the result of various conditionings, since analyses have shown various correlations among the data. Given this, the aim of this article is to study the profile of women victims of violence in Brazil, Rio Grande do Sul and in Caxias do Sul, stratified by age, race and education degree. Quantitative analysis is done with the data of SINAM, RAIS, FIRJAN and IBGE for the year 2012. The analyses indicated that the profile of women victimized by domestic violence is comprised of children and young women up to 39 years, black or browns and with low schooling. There seems to be no immediate association between domestic violence and socio-economic development (measured by IFDM).
