The issue of transparency has become even more necessary in the current pandemic of the Covid-19, which has led to an exponential growth in cases of gender-based violence in Brazil.  Objective: Assuming the adoption of Active Transparency, based on the Access to Information Law, this research aims to identify actions of the Ministério da Mulher, Família e dos Direitos Humanos in combating gender-based violence during the period of social isolation caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. Methodology: With an exploratory nature, the methodological path of the research took place in two stages. At first, there was an identification of the Ministério role in social media. Second, data referring to gender violence were collected in the Ministério Twitter platform, for further analysis.

Conclusion: Some information conveyed as actions to promote the fight against gender-based violence did not provide basic data on its realization, methodology, implementation, benefits, and effects, creating barriers to eradication.
