Regarding the results, 2227 investigations were located, being selected for effects. of the work 38 studies, which were selected applying criteria of duplicity, exclusion and relevance. As a final reflection, this problem is rooted in cultural practices and social structures that perpetuate gender inequality. Although laws and policies can act as a brake on violence, a profound cultural change is required to eradicate the attitudes and structures that sustain it. It is essential to promote awareness, education and the transformation of cultural values to build an equitable society free of any form of violence.
