Abstract:
Aiming to investigate the characterization of intimate partnerts who commit domestic violence (IPV) against women, a descriptive study was conducted about the sociodemographic profile of men authors of IPV during the year of 2017, using data provided by a care center for victims of violence located in the Great Porto Alegre. This kind of measure requires the commitment and the view of the community, the local government and the civil society and, especially, it requires that health professionals identify the occurrence of IPV.
