Summary:The purpose of this study is to understand how the conceptions of identity and violence are developed for university students which care for women in situations of vulnerability, through the Programa Casa das Mulheres (Women's House Program) in the municipality of Viçosa, Minas Gerais, Brazil. This program is responsible for care and referral through the Protection Network to Combat Violence against Women in the city.  This study also aims to verify how the exchange of knowledge between them (students and women served) can enable a greater empowerment of both parties in relation to the concept of violence.
