This is an exploratory, descriptive study with a quantitative approach, developed at the Cidade Verde Integrated Family Health Unit, in João Pessoa, PB, Brazil. 400 women were interviewed in January and February 2010 and semi-structured interviews were used. From this amount, 211 women (52.75%) were identified with history of domestic violence and composed the study sample. As a profile of the victims of violence, the study showed a high incidence of adults (78.67 %), married (45.04%), earning up to two minimum salaries (72.03%), complete high school level (33.17%), dark skinned victims (46.44%), catholic (50.13%) and housewives (56.87%).
