violence against women is a serious problem caused by the social construction of feminineness and masculineness that results in the domination of women by men. Public policies on gender have recently been developed in order to confront the problem. But what exactly are the problems faced by women?
to survey and analyse cases of violence against women reported to the police, as recorded at the Police Stations for Women's Defence (PSWDs), and to reconstruct the procedures that women must go through in order to denounce their aggressors.
this quantitative, exploratory and descriptive study was undertaken during 2006-2007 in the city of Itapevi, São Paulo metropolitan region, Brazil. As there is no PSWD data were collected from police reports from PSWDs of neighbouring cities.
malicious physical injury (49%) and threats (42%) were the most commonly reported types of violence. The victims were aged between 20 and 49 years (93%). Almost all of the aggressors (97%) were men and most had an intimate relationship with their victim. The use of alcoholic beverages was linked to approximately 25% of the cases.
women who are victims of domestic violence in Itapevi report that going through PSWDs of neighbouring cities is a difficult, isolated, long and expensive process that often, provides no institutional protection.
there is an urgent requirement for judicial-assistance and support close to home in order to provide a quality service and follow-up for these women and their aggressors; to provide training for the professionals called to attend them at police stations; and for a caring attitude from health-care professionals.
暴力侵害妇女行为是由社会构建的女性气质和男性气质导致的，这种构建导致了男性对女性的统治，这是一个严重的问题。最近制定了关于性别问题的公共政策，以解决这一问题。但是妇女面临的问题究竟是什么？
调查和分析向妇女保护警察局（PSWD）报案的暴力侵害妇女案件，并重建妇女必须采取的程序，以指控其侵犯者。
这是一项 2006-2007 年在巴西圣保罗大都市区伊塔佩维市进行的定量、探索性和描述性研究。由于没有 PSWD 数据，因此从邻近城市的 PSWD 警察报告中收集了数据。
恶意身体伤害（49%）和威胁（42%）是最常见的暴力形式。受害者年龄在 20 至 49 岁之间（93%）。几乎所有的侵犯者（97%）都是男性，大多数与受害者有亲密关系。大约 25%的案件与饮酒有关。
伊塔佩维的家庭暴力受害者报告说，前往邻近城市的 PSWD 是一个困难、孤立、漫长和昂贵的过程，往往不能提供机构保护。
迫切需要在附近提供司法援助和支持，以便为这些妇女及其侵犯者提供优质的服务和后续服务；为在警察局接待他们的专业人员提供培训；并对保健专业人员持关爱态度。
