Objective:to analyze emergency care for women victims of violence in the head and neck region. Methodology:Analysis of data from the Surveillance and Accident Survey in 25 state capitals and the Federal District in 2011 througha sample of 351 visits to women between 15 and 49 years old regarding the occurrence of violence in the head and neck region. Results:The occurrence of violence was predominant in black women (70.8%), young (68.3% 20-29 years) and with little schooling (< 8 years of study), being more frequent at home (45.5 %), committed intentionally (86.9%) by a male aggressor (77.4%), identified as a partner or former intimate partner (44.5%), with the face (87.0%) the most affected head/neck region. Conclusions:Violence against women permeates the discussion of gender inequalities, intersectionality and social capital. What is important is not gender per se, but the combination of gender, race and socioeconomic class. This requires intersectoral public policies and social mobilization in favor of social capital. Therefore, the model of Care Networks, with the consequent multiprofessionality, intersectoriality and transdisciplinarity is fundamental. This presupposes, including, greater involvement of the dental surgeon in the identification and reception of victims for subsequent referralshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/violência domésticafacemorbidadefemininodomestic violencemorbidityfemaleA face vitimada: morbidade entre mulheres atendidas em serviços sentinelas no BrasilThe face victimized: morbidity between women incoming in sentinel service in BrazilEl rostro victimizado: morbilidad entre mujeres atendidas en servicios de centinela en Brasilarticle10.21680/2446-7286.2023v9n1ID29026
