Gender-based violence is a social problem that has accompanied man since ancient times. Currently there are many strategies implemented by countries to try to mitigate it and give to the women their rightful place in terms of gender equality and equal rights. Nevertheless, in the municipality of Santiago de Cuba the problem of gender violence is latent, which is evident from the systematicity that women, youth, adolescents, couples and families in general come to the House of Orientation the Women and Family (COMF) for help. In this sense, this paper aims to characterize gender violence in santiagueras females and visible intervention strategy implemented to minimize this reality. Research is based on the triangulation of quantitative and qualitative data and methodological strategy implemented.
