N2  - Developed in state capitals Recife, Salvador and Aracaju, in three state maternity hospitals, this quantitative study aimed at identifying the manifestations of domestic and institutional violence suffered by women assisted in subprograms of the Program of Integral Assistance to the Woman's Health. Data collection was performed by using a semi-structured form. The sample featured young women, housewives, and those that are economically dependant on their significant others. Most women experience matrimonial violence, and financial dependency is the most often mentioned reason to bear it. The lack of vacancies characterized institutional violence due to omission. Research showed that experiencing such violence brings health problems to women, or aggravates them. (Portuguese language)
