Abstract

to discuss the meanings attributed by professionals to the construction of the service network for women in situations of violence. Convergent Care Research developed with the application of a convergence group with 32 participants from the health, social assistance, or public security sectors, in Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul. The data was produced during ten meetings, based on the problematization methodology, and submitted to analysis of thematic content and interpreted with the referential of networks. the construction of the network is an artisanal work carried out by people continuously, permeated by bonds, communication and partnerships between services and knowledge of work processes. Lashings require permanent movement. building a network implies defining intertwining lines; form nodes that create cross-sector connections. There is a need to institutionalize processes through care continuity protocols, associated with an efficient communication system between sectors.

Summary

Introduction

Gender violence is a public health problem that violates women’s human rights and constitutes a challenge for gender equality, contributing to the legitimacy of social domination based on the understanding of women as inferior beings[1]. It has a high worldwide prevalence[2], serious consequences for health, health, social and economic impacts[3]. Intimate partner violence (IPV) is based on gender inequalities, which are a marker of social inequality. In Brazil, public policies to combat violence against women[6,7] recognize gender as a transversal determinant, as well as the diversity between them and their various vulnerabilities
