Violence against women is a historical endemy, it´s poorly understood as cause and consequence of social determinants, it remains naturalized by the patriarchal order that prevails in capitalistic society. The women´s victims of violence support network,the currently existing flow and their repective assingments in the city of Belo Horizonte were acknoledged through documented research. The scarcity of resources was observed, for exemple,in the nead to shelter women at risk of homicide, since there are only ten places for this situation throughout the metropolitan area. At the same time, it was possible to recognize various social equipments that already existed and that weren´t frequently accessed, up untill then, in the daily work of the author. Another intention is to capacitate family health teams of the Health Center Céu Azul about how to proceed when faced with calls from victims of violence against women. These measures aren´t enough to totaly garantee women´s defense in front of various forms of violence because of the scarcity of resorces and decentralization of available resources, as for the social,historical and political factores of the patriarchal capitalist system witch foments the machism, racism and lesbophobia.
