The objective of this research is to analyze the impacts of the Covid 19 pandemic on domestic violence against women. We opted for the research based on the collection of data from the Brazilian Forum of Public Security (FBSP) and the collection of information in newspapers, magazines and videos broadcast in electronic media. Violence against women is a multifactorial and systemic problem, involving some determinants such as: cultural and gender issues, social vulnerability and race. In Brazil, nine out of ten cases of violence against women occur in the domestic environment. The time frame used was the period of March and April 2020, compared to the same period of the previous year. The data collected indicate that there is a significant relationship between the increase in domestic violence against women and social distancing, as a health measure to prevent Covid 19. It was possible to infer a significant increase in the number of femicides and an increase in complaints through the social networks and through the hotline 180 and 190 reporting channels. On the other hand, the number of complaints that depend on the physical presence of women dropped during the period surveyed. It is possible to conclude that there was a significant increase in cases of domestic violence against women in the researched period and the importance of intensifying interventions to strengthen public policies for the protection and specific confrontation of this issue.
