CARVALHO, Andressa Veras de. Violence against women in Brazilian rural areas: an integrative review. Aletheia [online]. 2019, vol.52, n.2, pp. 166-177. ISSN 1413-0394.

This study is a integrative literature review about the phenomenon of violence against women in rural areas in Brazil. We surveyed the data base of the Virtual Library in Health (Psychology), resulting in 66 articles, among which 10 were selected for the study. Overall, the articles are recent, qualitative, with a diversity of participants, among managers, health professionals and women. The main findings suggest different understandings about violence against women and common characteristics of rural contexts as aggravating factors, such as the difficulty of access to services. As coping strategies, the following were mentioned: intersectoral network and Family Health Strategy, women's groups, social support network and political participation. The lack of studies demands the need for new research to better understand the dynamics of violence in rural areas and to implement actions that ensure the well-being and dignity of women.
