Abstract

to identify the constituent services of the network to combat violence against rural women in municipalities in the northwestern region of Rio Grande do Sul and to analyze the articulation and communication of services in search of the resolution of situations of violence. descriptive-exploratory, qualitative study, carried out through semi-structured interviews with 26 professionals from intersectoral services, as well as managers and/or those responsible for these services. Data were systematized through content analysis. although the professionals collectively discuss and plan coping actions, difficulties were identified in the approximation between services, related to the definition of flow, knowledge of actions/referrals, fear of seeing and reporting violence, understanding that it is not a question of demand of their field of action, and women's access to services. it is evident the need to implement public policies that address the singularities of violence against women in rural settings.

There is an effort by researchers to make visible the specific problems that rurality imposes on women in situations of violence
There is SARC [Social Assistance Reference Center], SRCSA [Specialized Reference Center for Social Assistance] that go after these issues [...] we try to work consistently in order to minimize suffering. (MED25)

Summary

Introduction

Violence against women is prevalent throughout the world and is internationally recognized as a social and public health problem[1,2]. As to the forms of violence perpetrated against women, this balance revealed that physics represents more than half of the reports of violence (56.72%), followed by psychological (27.14%), moral (10.16%) and (2.32%)(4). This problem affects women in different settings, one of which is rural. There is an effort by researchers to make visible the specific problems that rurality imposes on women in situations of violence In this sense, women are continuously exposed to different types of violence, ranging from physical, psychological, moral, sexual, to work overload and deprivation of liberty on the part of the husband and/or partner[5]
