Violence is present in many realities and social groups. Therefore, this study seeks to characterize violence against women living in rural Minas Gerais.  A descriptive epidemiological study was conducted, with secondary data recorded by the Notification Disease Information System (SINAN) from 2008 to 2017. In 2015, it was the year with the highest number of reports of violence against women between 25 and 39 years old (47.8%), black (56.92%) and less educated (40.43%). The victims were assaulted mainly on the face (31.5%), where the aggressor was male (70.41%), and violence was committed at the victim's own residence (81%), without the use of a firearm. In addition, 45% of women reported that violence was recurrent and that in 39% of cases the aggressor used alcohol before the aggression. Most cases of violence against rural residents were psychological and / or moral.
