Abstract

The present article presented as a partial requirement to obtain the title of Specialist in Gender Studies originates from the research project entitled “Spatial analysis of police occurrences related to complaints of sexual violence against women in the municipality of Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul” . The research data collection was carried out at the Specialized Police Station for the Assistance to Women (DEAM) of Santa Maria based on police events registered in the year of 2017. The collected data allowed to create a profile of the sexual violence victms registered in the DEAM, in which the following characteristics stand out: white woman, predominant age group from 45 to 49 years old, complete elementary school and rape carried out by the ex-partner. Drawing a profile of women affected by sexual violence helps professionals who work to combat violence and protect these women. The profile of women in situations of violence allows us to understand how and where this type of violence manifests itself in society. Based on the results of this study, it is expected to encourage the creation of mechanisms to prevent and combat sexual violence, in order to provide the guarantee of rights and protection for women.
