Objective: To characterize cases of sexual violence in women, worldwide, in the period from 2015 to 2019. Method: An integrative literature review was conducted, with information consulted in the databases of PubMed / Medline, SciELO, Lilacs and Google Scholar. The descriptors chosen for the search method were: Offenses; Sexual; Epidemiology; Violence, in the following languages: English, Portuguese and Spanish. Results: The prevalence of content was categorized on the prevalence of Sexual Violence in the following axes: 1- predominance in females, n = 2; 2- in the period of childhood and adolescence n = 4; 3- male and/or family subjects perpetrated, n = 1; 4- difficulties faced by professionals in order to provide assistance to these victims, n = 1. Conclusion: It was noted that sexual violence in women occurs, mainly, due to sociocultural and gender issues of the victim and aggressor; resulting in short and long-term consequences, such as bodily injury, emotional and psychological damage. However, there is still the occurrence of sexual violence in male people, but on a small scale, for reasons of embarrassment, fear of denouncing, confusion and taboos imposed by society.
