Methods: An observational-descriptive-transversal study was carried out, which included 254 cases of physical violence against women attended at the Center of Legal Medicine in the year 2020, in the province of Holguin, Cuba. For the analysis of the data, variables were selected to characterize physical violence against women such as: age, motive of the act, place of occurrence and the affective relationship with the aggressor.
Results: Physical violence against women was most prevalent in the 25-54 age group, with 156 women (61.41%). The main motive was that of passionate violence with 175 women (68.90%), followed by arguments, with the highest number of cases occurring at home with 101 cases (39.8%). Around 66.14% received violence at the hands of their partner or ex-partner.
Conclusions: Women between 25 and 54 years of age predominated, who received aggression at home by their partners or ex-partners for passionate reasons.
