description Violence against women, understood as a product of gender inequalities, intersected with race and class issues, has become increasingly important in the world and in Brazil over the last decades. Thus, in order to understand the actions to combat violence against women in the context of primary health care, we interviewed 15 women users of the services in Recife, Pernambuco. We organized the results from four categories: conceptions of violence against women, motivations for situations of violence, coping strategies against violence against women and attention to violence against women in Family Health Units. This work has led us to reflect on the need and importance of discussing the issue of violence against women within USF and the recognition that these units are the first place that women seek to perform care.
