Abstract:

This is a quantitative study that analyzed female deaths due to aggression in the 122 municipalities that are part of the Brazilian border line. Borders are territories of conquest, conflict and violence and in Brazilian border cities there are high rates of male and female homicides. The aim of the study was to quantify female deathsaggression in border towns and to identify factors associated with these deaths. Female deathsaggression (X85 to Y09 of ICD-10) considered an indirect indicator of femicides, were the outcome of a multivariate analysis using the Poisson model. In the period 2000 to 2015, there were 1384 deaths of womenaggression, which represent an average rate of 5.8/ 100,000 women; of these, 181 were in indigenous women (13%). We observed the pattern of distribution of these deaths, which occurred predominantly in the Central Arch, in larger municipalities and there are more migrants. There is heterogeneity in the rates of violence in the municipalities that are part of the border line, indicating a close look at the most populous places, with a high presence of migration and female deaths due to aggression. However, it is also recommended to pay attention to the small municipalities there has been a change in pattern, with an abrupt increase in the number of murders of women
