It aimed to describe the types of domestic assault against women, couples’ relationship and abusers’ characteristics. The results show an amount of 210 complaints of abuse, made by women, almost all of them married, with children, and working outside home; in accordance with their description, the partner is violent and rude and his aggression is caused by jealousy or alcoholism.
