This type of violence is an ancient and complex phenomenon whose causes are the most varied and has acquired a greater, threatening and dark dynamic. Domestic violence against women can take different forms: physical, emotional, psychological, patrimonial, sexual and moral. The objective of the work is to identify the determinations of violence against women and the representation of victims assisted in a Specialized Reference Center for Social Assistance in a city, in the State of Tocantins. The methodology used was an exploratory-descriptive documental study, with a quantitative approach, which seeks to analyze the types of violence and victims attended at the Specialized Reference Center for Social Assistance in a city in the State of Tocantins. Data collection for 2017 and 2018 was carried out between March and April 2021.
