This article questions the inexistence or the invisibility of violence against women in countryside areas. Our research took place in the city of Laranjeiras do Sul, Brazil. In addition, its methodology consists of literature and documental review and for the experience in the municipal council of women's rights. The results lead us to the invisibility of domestic violence in the fields, motivated either because of the lack of information, the patriarchate present in social relations or the difficulties that peasant women face to report abuses. Our conclusion points out to a scenario of silenced violence, most of the times in a largest number that in to urban areas, considering the proportion of inhabitants.
