The study aimed to characterize the occurrence of domestic violence, sexual and other violence, starting from the information of the database of the System Information of Offences of Notification (SINAN), of the records of violence of the city of Belém-Pará, in the period of January of 2009 to December of 2011. In this period 3.267 notifications were systematized, what represented an increase of 240% in the number of notifications of the year 2009 compared to 2011. In relation to the sex of the victim it was observed that, on average, 83.2% of cases reached women, this proportion similar in all three years analyzed. The sexual violence was the more present with 41,8%; following by the psychological violence with 26,3% and of physical violence with 24,0%.
