Highlights
Recent studies indicate that in the period of 20012011, the Mortality Information System recorded a total of 44,231 deaths of women for aggression, showing that the numbers of all women affected by death aggression little changed after the term of the Maria da Penha Law, which was enacted on August 7th, 2006, demonstrating that without concerted effort to change the culture of naturalization of this event, the problem of violence against women will be passed on from generation to generation. [1]
The present study aims to analyze the scientific literature on violence against women and the results presented in publications as well as to characterize them according to the type of study, periodic and region of Brazil where they were performed
Based on the literature review, it is imminent that the region that most studies violence against women is located in São Paulo, and the Public Health magazines are the most interested in publications on the subject proposal
Summary
The data show little difference between these rates, it is known that after the Maria da Penha Law the number of women seeking protection in law is notorious, and they left the invisibility which characterizes the violence against women cycle. The encouragement of these women to denounce the aggressors occurs due to the greater amount of information about their rights and the knowledge of the law, which has been widely publicized.
