Abstract

This work aimed to study the care of women victims of sexual violence in a public reference hospital of Porto Alegre. We characterized the profile of women attended and the embracement process afforded to them. This is qualitative and quantitative research; data were collected from records of users from the year 2006, when the service was deployed. We carried out participant observation and semi-structured interviews with five users attended in the second semester of 2008. The study found weaknesses in attendance, loss to the integrality in the attention of women and low compliance of users to the service.
