Gender violence is a reality that, unfortunately, women face daily. Placing gender on the agenda of public discussion involves involving different actors and institutions of society, such as those linked to health. Training and sensitizing health workers from a gender perspective and with a thorough understanding of the meaning and importance of human rights is an indispensable part of changing practices that perpetuate family violence and thus avoid secondary and institutional victimization of women. The central objective of the study is to implement a normative and jurisprudential approach to this special type of violence and, in light of its objectives, to raise the need for a gender perspective in health care workers. Thus, the study has an exploratory character and the research was carried out through literature review through books, articles and other legal titles; besides demonstrating a qualitative approach. The results will clearly help in the establishment of public policies to prevent and provide specific attention to women victims of violence.
