Brief summary

Violence against women within the couple is a major socio-political and public health problem. Indeed, in 2020, 219,000 women were victims of violence within their couple and 102 women were killed by their partner or ex-partner. On average, the number of women aged 18 to 75 who in the course of a year are victims of rape and/or attempted rape is estimated at 94,000 women, and in 47% of cases it is the spouse or the ex-spouse who is the author of the facts. This violence has major health and social consequences: the leading cause of death and disability among women aged 16 to 44 in Europe. In France, a woman dies as a result of domestic violence every 2.5 days and the overall cost of domestic violence in 2012 amounted to 3.6 billion euros in France. A better knowledge of the use of care for wives of victims of violence and their feelings vis-à-vis the medical care in an emergency service will make it possible to identify the problems related to their care based on their feelings. of these patients, to understand why they would not have consulted as a first resort if necessary and to subsequently propose avenues for improvement.
