Abstract

AIM: To identify demographic and socioeconomic aspects of women in  marital  violence.  Method:  This  is  a  descriptive  and  quantitative  study,  linked  to  an action  research  project  under  funding  from  the  Fundação  de  Amparo à  Pesquisa  do Estado  da  Bahia  (Research  Support  Foundation  of  the  Bahia  State).  A  documentary research was carried out from the information contained in 212 cases registered in 2014 under  the  jurisprudence  of  the  1st  Court  of  Domestic  and  Family  Violence  against Women   in   Salvador.   Data   analysis   was   performed   through   the   distribution   of frequencies.  Result:  the  investigation  of  cases  registered  in  2014  revealed  that  the denunciation of domestic violence is performed mostly by women aged between 25 and 49  years  old,  black,  single  mothers,  who  have  completed  at  least  high  school  and  are earning  up  to  two  minimum  wages.  Discussion:  In  this  profile  of  women,  already desirous of putting an end to violence, there must be an action plan so that they will not give up fighting for a life free of violence.
