Abstract: Gender violence is defined as any act that results in or may result in physical, sexual, or psychological harm to women, including threats, coercion, or arbitrary deprivation of liberty, both in public and private life. The phenomenon of violence has afflicted humanity throughout its history. Explicit violence can be found in the world of art, where it germinates with enormous ease. In terms of gender violence, the main medico-legal action that should be taken by health centers is to issue a certificate of injury. The objective of this study was to describe the historical, artistic, psychological, and medico-legal aspects of gender violence. It was concluded that gender violence is also a health problem that requires medico-legal action and intervention, and that its image in art has been reflected in all forms of expression. Twenty-one bibliographies were consulted.
