Prevalence of Suffering from Partner Violence in Women

The World Health Organization establishes intimate partner violence against women as a severe and growing Public Health problem worldwide, also considering it a serious violation of Human Rights, which translates into a negative impact on their quality of life, their decisions, their attitudes, and their physical, mental, sexual, reproductive, and economic well-being. This is why the timely detection of possible cases of violence is of vital importance. The objective was to identify the prevalence of female patients aged 20-59 years from the U.M.F. 20 “Vallejo” who are at risk of suffering from intimate partner violence.
