“…In this confrontation, females are the most victimized, as a study conducted in the capital of Espírito Santo that presented prevalence of 57.6% of psychological violence and 39.3% of physical violence by an intimate partner throughout life [12] shows. In a study carried out in another Brazilian state, [13] when confronting the systems of information on injuries and mortality, the chances of homicide were higher for women when there was a record of recurrence of violence. The vulnerability of women is a product of historical and cultural processes identified by sexism and the patriarchy, often legitimized by the State and civil society.…”

Violence is a serious public health problem and its repetitive character points to a chronic phenomenon and its insertion in the daily lives of victims. To identify the frequency of repeat violence reported in adults in a Brazilian state and its association with the characteristics of the victim, the aggressor, and the aggression. This is an epidemiological cross-sectional study conducted with data from the notifications of violence recorded in the Notifiable Diseases Information System in Espírito Santo, Brazil from 2011 to 2018. Bivariate analysis was performed using Pearson Chi-Squared test and the multivariate Poisson regression, using a widely used hierarchical model, with the victim’s characteristics in the first level and the aggressor’s characteristics and the occurrence in the second level. In the multivariate analysis, the variables that obtained P < .2 in the bivariate analysis were included in the model, keeping those with P < .05. Data were expressed by prevalence ratio (PR), with confidence intervals of 95%. During the period, 9933 cases of violence were registered in the adult population, referring to 1061 notifications of male adults and 8872 notifications of female adults. The prevalence of repeat violence was 56.7% (95% CI: 56.0 − 57.5). It was more prevalent among women (PR: 1.73; 95% CI: 1.63 − 1.83), in the age groups over 40 years (PR: 1.12; 95% CI: 1.08 − 1.16), black and mixed-race (P: 1.04; 95% CI: 1.01 − 1.07), and with a partner (P: 1.09; 95% CI: 1.05 − 1.12). Victims with disabilities or disorders suffered 34% more from this problem (95% CI: 1.29 − 1.38) and lived in urban or peri-urban areas (PR: 1.16; 95% CI: 1.10 − 1.23). As for the aggressors, they were under 25 years of age (PR: 1.06; 95% CI: 1.02 − 1.11), of both sexes (PR: 1.32; 95% CI: 1.06 − 1.64), and were the victim’s intimate partner (PR: 3.91; 95% CI: 3.25 − 4.71). The aggressions had only 1 perpetrator (PR: 1.17; 95% CI: 1.07 − 1.28) and occurred in the residence (PR: 1.33; 95% CI: 1.26 − 1.41). Repeat violence showed high frequency among notifications and was associated with characteristics of the victim, aggressor, and event. The results point to a phenomenon present in the daily life of communities that is potentially capable of negatively impacting the different areas of the subjects lives. Studies on the subject are important to understand the phenomenon and implement strategic actions to confront it.

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é analisar a tendência temporal de homicídios de mulheres no período de 2007 a 2019, na região Sudeste do Brasil. Trata-se de um estudo ecológico misto dos homicídios em mulheres, de 2007 a 2019, considerando-se como unidade de análise os anos do estudo e os estados que compõem a região Sudeste. Os dados foram obtidos via Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade (SIM) e tabulados pelo TABNET. Empregou-se o modelo de regressão de Prais-Winsten para verificação de tendência de homicídios. Foram registrados 18.415 homicídios de mulheres entre 2007 e 2019 na região Sudeste. Cerca de 9.691 (53,64%) eram mulheres pretas, 5.118 (27,80%) com escolaridade de 4 a 7 anos e 10.841 (58,87%) solteiras. As variações percentuais anuais foram: São Paulo -3,73; IC95% [-6,09; -1,32], Espírito Santo -5,67; IC95% [-7,11; -4,21], Rio de Janeiro -3,86; IC95% [-9,54; 2,17] e Minas Gerais -2,11; IC95% [-4,87; 0,73]. São Paulo e Espírito Santo apresentaram taxas de homicídios de mulheres decrescentes, enquanto Minas Gerais e Rio de Janeiro taxas estacionárias. As maiores taxas de homicídio no período ocorreram em mulheres solteiras, pretas e com escolaridade de quatro a sete anos. Faz-se necessária a construção de redes sociais que viabilizem a proteção integral das mulheres.
