The violence against women is a recurrent theme in Brazil and the world. It is a very complex phenomenon and affects all social classes, races, ethnicities and cultures. Many were the struggles aiming at gaining equal rights between women and men and many were the achievements too. However, the extinction of gender violence still seems far from occurring. Women victims of violence have sought to support the services provided by governments or nongovernmental organizations in order to minimize their pain. Among these services are those provided by police in support of women, welfare centers, referral centers, women's homes and shelter. The assaults suffered by women are divided into several types, like the psychological, physical, sexual, and moral heritage, in general, has more than one type of aggression at the same time, or in the same family unit. The objective of this study was the perception of the professional staff of the Centro de Referência de Atendimento à Mulher Vítima de Violência Doméstica e Sexual Francisca Clotilde – Fortaleza – the phenomenon of violence against women from the care provided under the first reference center. We surveyed the techniques that make up a multidisciplinary team of the Center. They were also collected quantitative data on the profile of violence against women in the Observatory of Violence Reference Center under study.
