Abstract

Aggression followed by female death is a problem that affects social, cultural and public health spheres, with male chauvinism, patriarchy and misogyny being one of the triggering factors for the deaths of women due to aggression in the world. Currently, Brazil is classified as the fifth country with the highest number of these deaths, affecting victims of different age groups, ethnicities, marital status and education. To analyze the profile of deaths of women due to aggression in the pre and pandemic period in the state of Pará. This study used a combined methodological approach, involving bibliographical research, quantitative analysis and descriptive analysis. The data source used was the Mortality Information System (SIM) of the Datasus Program, covering the period from 2018 to 2020. A total of 3.971 cases of death due to aggression against women that occurred in the state of Pará were registered, and in 2018 there were specifically 1.736 cases, in 2019 there were 1.217 and in 2020 there were 1.018. It was noted that, in the 3 years analyzed, Belém was the municipality with the highest number of death notifications, with 82 in 2018, 55 in 2019 and 34 in 2020. Most victims were of brown ethnicity, single, aged between 20 and 29 years old and with 4 to 7 years of age. schooling. Cases were more prevalent in their own household. As for the cause of death, the most frequent was due to aggression by a sharp or penetrating object. There was an increase in the number of cases of death by aggression in the state of Pará during the Pandemic period due to the greater coexistence of the aggressors with the victims at home. Due to this, there was also a greater difficulty for women to report such events, favoring the occurrence of underreporting. It is noteworthy that many victims, for not having knowledge about the legal means of defense, become more susceptible to such unfortunate events. Thus, the study addressed in this work demonstrates the importance of recognizing such a problem in society and the need for multidisciplinary actions to combat such an occurrence in the state of Pará.
