Abstract

Objective: To analyze domestic violence against women during the COVID-19 pandemic described in the scientific literature. Methods: This is an integrative review carried out in six stages, using the guiding question: “What is the behavior of violence against women in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic?”. The bibliographic survey was carried out on the VHL, SciELO, LILACS and MEDLINE platforms in April and May 2021, obtaining 3,183 articles, which after the established criteria, 14 studies were selected. Results: Social distancing creates the ideal conditions for the elements of violence to be expanded and many victims find it difficult to report the aggressor. The rise in violence has serious physical, mental, reproductive, emotional, health and safety repercussions for women and their children. As a way to combat this type of violence, it is necessary the State's support with greater agility, as well as its role in strengthening the security of women in vulnerable situations. Final considerations: Therefore, complaints should be encouraged to combat the aggressor's impunity and seek to reduce underreporting of cases.
