Abstract
Abstract Objectives: To understand the meanings of sexual assault against women in the point of view of students, professors and university managers of undergraduate nursing; and to understand how the contents on this subject are approached in undergraduate courses in Nursing in Higher Education Institutions. Method: A qualitative study, with data collection from March to November 2018, through interviews with ten students, ten teachers and seven managers from two private institutions. Data was treated by the modality of thematic content, with a theoretical-analytical reference of 'gender violence' and 'rape culture'. Results: The topic is approached in a fragmented way in different academic contexts, which leads to the reflection of the topic in the training of nurses, extending to their professional performance. Conclusion and implications for practice: The possibilities of incorporating the subject in the teaching-learning scenarios and practices converge to approach the content about the different types of violence in the undergraduate subjects, with educational actions with the population, potentializing the deconstruction of the culture of female subordination. In addition, the study is aligned with the appropriate time in which the reorientation of the curricular guidelines for the health courses is discussed.

Summary
The discussion about gender violence against women has become of great importance in the world, from countless situations experienced by this population. Understanding this phenomenon challenges research centers in several countries, especially in trying to contribute to governments in addressing them.[1,2,3,4] Throughout history, violence against women has been an active instrument of discrimination that has allowed the construction, consolidation and solidification of this inequality in order to gain control, subordination and prevent its full emancipation.[1,2,3,4,5]. The study was conducted with 11 district nurses at Primary Health Care Centers in Stockholm, Sweden, about the last time these professionals had seen women in situations of intimate partner violence, showed that participants were hesitant to ask about the occurrence of violence with these women, even if they identified and recognized signs and symptoms of exposure to violence.[6]
