Abstract

Several forms of discrimination and violence are known nowadays, including violence against women, who are daily victims of circumstances adverse to their well-being. Another term used to deal with violence against women is femicide, evidenced as a hate crime against a female individual, resulting in her death. Women become a significant social segment for public health policies, not only because of their numerical value, but also because of the history of gender inequalities that are involved in the conditions of women's health and are evidenced by crimes.

This is an ecological time series study, with secondary data on deaths from aggression in women in the state of Paraíba, among the years 2010 to 2019, obtained through the Mortality Information System (SIM) used generalized linear regression by the Prais Winsten method for trend analysis.
