Se realizó un estudio descriptivo acerca de las características biopsicosociales de 24 mujeres víctimas de violencia intrafamiliar, que mantuvieron sus acusaciones y decidieron romper el silencio de un universo de 83 que la habían padecido de agosto de 1998 a agosto de 1999. Con el objetivo de conocer características propias de estas y de sus victimarios, se utilizó la entrevista individual, donde se halló que más de la mitad habían retirado sus acusaciones y habían incurrido en una ocasión en el hecho. Las amas de casa de 15 a 24 años fueron las más maltratadas, y las lesiones leves fue el acto violento más reportado. Los victimarios fueron hombres de 25 a 34 años, jefes de núcleo familiar y obreros, con la presencia del alcohol como hábito tóxico común, y este a su vez como la causa condicionante a la violencia.A descriptive study on the biopsychosocial characteristics of 24 women victims of intrafamily violence that maintained their accusations and decided to break up silence from a group of 83 that have been battered from August, 1998 to August, 1999, was made. The individual interview was used in order to know their own characteristics and those of the victimizers. It was found that more than half had withdrawn their charges and had committed this act on one occasion. Housewives aged 15-24 were the most battered. Mild injuries were the most reported. The victimizers were men between 25 and 34 years old, heads of the family nucleus and workers. Alcohol was present as a common toxic habit and as the cause of violence.
