We analyzed the training of health care professional for the care of women in instances of sexual violence in two Brazilian state capitals, in a qualitative study with 140 professionals of different categories working in 18 health care institutions in the cities of Fortaleza and Rio de Janeiro. Semi-structured interviews were performed, and the empirical material was analyzed according to the content analysis technique. Gaps in the training of the professionals due to an insufficient approach of this topic during the undergraduate studies in the field of health were observed in both municipalities. The weakness of the professional training for this kind of practice was reinforced by gaps in the training actions. In the city of Rio de Janeiro, these actions were more frequent and continuous. The inclusion of this topic in the professional training, the expansion of training processes, and the continuing education of the health care teams in the services are important. Such measures will make viable a critical understanding of this phenomenon, contributing to the implementation of diverse interventions.
