Abstract
Objective: To describe the profile of women who suffered sexual violence, as well as to identify the characteristics of the aggressor and sexual violence against women of reproductive age. Methods: A quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study conducted through a survey of variables in the Notification Disease Information System about sexual violence in women of childbearing age. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics using Epi InfoTM software, version 13.0. Results: During the study period, there were 327 cases of sexual violence, most of them between 10 and 19 years old (83.18%), brown (54.74%), single (77.06%), ≤ 8 years of study (49.85%). The aggression occurred at night (23.86%), at the victims' residence (59.33%), by acquaintances (81.04%). Regarding the care offered 72.17% was immediate in health services, with prescription of prophylaxis for sexually transmitted infections (45.87%). Conclusion: Violence occurs in all age groups, regardless of social class, education or marital status, bringing serious consequences to the biopsychosocial health of these women. These facts justify the discussion of this theme, supporting the implementation of public policies to confront violence and the establishment of an integral network of care for women in order to minimize the problems.
