Abstract:

Methodology: Ecological study using SINAN and PNS, both2019. In SINAN, notifications of sexual, physical, and psychological VAW aged 18 years or older were ed. In the PNS, women of the same age groups who reported psychological, physical, or sexual violence who had sought health care due consequences related to the violence experienced were ed. SINAN underreporting was calculated based on the estimate of the PNS estimate population for Brazil and each SU. Results: Underreporting of VAW in Brazil was 98,5%, 75,9% and 89,4% for psychological, physical, and sexual violence, respectively. The North and Northeast states had the lowest notification rates among de SU. Conclusion: VAW in Brazil is highly underreported in the health sector, demonstrating the need for training health professionals to recognize situations of violence and raise awareness of the importance of reporting.
