Interviews were conducted with women in situations of violence during the year 2014. We conclude that, despite understanding the aggressions they suffer as a situation of violence, women minimize the severity. Even though women's participation in the public space has not yet been reconfigured in terms of gender and power in the private sphere, while the culture that imposes the subordination of women to men.
