Abstract: Gender violence is a problem that has been increasing in recent years as a consequence of intolerance and cultural diversity in personal and social relationships. The aim of this study was to describe the scientific evidence on gender violence between intimate partners. The methodology used was the narrative review and analysis of articles published between 2019 and 2022 in the Scopus, EBSCO and Jane's databases, obtaining a total of 21 articles. The findings show that the existence of gender violence is a social problem that causes frustrations transferred to the partner, most of whom are women who report the various types of violence: physical, economic, sexual, emotional and psychological abuse. The main characteristics of violence are related to male dominance in the relationship, social isolation and subjugation of power due to economic, educational and cultural deficiencies, among others. It is concluded that exposure to violence requires timely psychological interventions that can mitigate the impact on mental health, which is why a comprehensive policy response is needed to benefit vulnerable populations.
